i don't think that the SVN server should be moved to another country for reasons of Reverse engineering. I think ReactOS should have no Reverse Engineered code within it. Reverse Engineering could be bad for the projects publicity and code-base. If you did want to mirror the SVN repository for localization purposes, or a faster connection that would be great. I think that reverse engineering of the Microsoft Code is wrong!!! And if programmers within this project want to reverse engineer they should start their own projects, with their own names, and use their own code. How would you like your product(s) to be stolen?

here is a letter from JvA. As most people know we have talk to move svn to another place.
Dear ReactOS Crew,
I spoke today with Lysators highest administrator Kalle, and he told me that there should be no problem what so ever for Lysator to host you. However, in order for us to host you we need a letter from you where you ask us to host you, and specify what you want to use the server for. This letter is needed for bureaucratic reasons.
The root group needs to officially grant you the right to be hosted in our server hall, and marked as a Lysator-project. What the root group wants to know is what you intend to use the server for and what ports you need open in the firewall. The security rules in Lysator strictly says that only Lysator members are allowed to have administrator/root accounts on the servers in the server hall. The person who would administrate your server would be me. People outside Lysator, like the ReactOS developers, are however allowed to have normal SSH-accounts.
Bandwidth is not a problem. Kalle told me that Lysator has been granted a secondary gbit-connection if the current one isn't enough. By the way, the server hall has UPS:es to make sure the servers are online even if there are would be electrical difficulties.
When you have had a meeting and decided what you want hosted in the Lysator server hall, send me a letter where you ask us to host you and I'll give it to Kalle. When you officially have been granted to be hosted by us, you need to supply us with a server, 1U or 2U. If you want, I could build it for you here in Linköping if you collect money and let GreatLord buy the parts. The OS that the server would run would be Gentoo Linux. I will of course install Apache, SVN, cross- compile GCC and whatever you need on the server for you.
