The primary use of the servers will be supporting the Sugar Labs
infrastructure. As we discussed over IRC, we're also hosting personal
home dirs and blogs of Sugar contributors and some websites related to
Sugar and OLPC deployments, all of which belong to non-profit
organizations. These websites require a minimal amount of resources and
help us attract technical talent and strategic partners to the project.

With this premise made, here's my statement:

"I, Bernie Innocenti, will be the primary system administrator of the
two Silicon Mechanics A161.v3 servers, serial numbers #67360 and #67361.
I attest that the equipment will be primarily used to facilitate my
volunteer contributions to the Sugar Labs project."

Agreed. Thanks,
