What open source projects are currently looking for mirrors and have low storage commitments?
I have a HostSolutions VPS (30GB/30TB) in Romania that I'd like to use to mirror an open source project. Most open source linux distros seem to require at least 50GB-100GB to host a mirror just for ISOs.
Anybody know of any open source projects that actively accept mirrors and don't have a huge storage requirement? Ideally a project where it's mirror array generally only hosts the most current ISOs for that project.
My storage limitation is around 20GB, to allow for some leeway room.

voidlinux? They're probably a bit over 20GB for the ISO mirrors by now, though.
Ping guys from coreboot/libreboot.
Have they managed anything past the x200 in the last decade?
Coreboot has been ported to Chromebooks for a while now by Google.
@WSS, I'm not following them too close, but AFAIK there are few thinkpads and one server board (ancient opterons only) that can be flashed without any binary blobs whatsoever. Coreboot supports plenty of stuff with blobs.
@asv Have the core team decided upon their sex and whether or not they're being oppressed?
@WSS, no idea, try asking them directly?
Nah. I have enough mental issues of my own.
I think you have Libreboot in mind. That was resolved. Leah Rowe apologized and stepped down, the project goes on, and I think it rejoined GNU. One of the few SJW-dramas with a happy end.

You are right, sir. I stand corrected.
Now that's some nice drama!
It looks like Linux Mint takes repo servers with a 30GB storage requirement.
