It's a critical but difficult issue. But obviously the development of the best desktop
environment that exists cannot be weighed down or stopped by personal issues. This is not
a criticism to anyone, we should be grateful to those who have contributed even if today
the lack of time or other personal reasons make them no longer active. But TDE development
must continue, there are many people who use it (even if they seem invisible because they
are not developers / contributors or do not participate in the mailing lists). A robust
infrastructure system that is resilient to personal issues must be sought and put in
place. It is necessary to deploy the infrastructure on quality servers that do not depend
on a specific person, so I understand the two appropriate questions are "Are there
people, companies or organizations that can provide infrastructure to the project?"
(it is possible to search and contact those who support other free software projects of
similar size and needs) and "If there is not enough server infrastructure provided
free of charge for the deployment of all the infrastructure, what is the cost (monthly and
annual) of paying for commercial servers with the necessary features?" (and consider
the feasibility of a cash donation campaign).
Best regards.

things that are simply not possible in the current situation. Something
has to change.
Slávek,
Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed response. I think a 14.0.6
announcement to -user and -devel would be worthwhile.
I will try to contact Tim (again).
I'm not going to rush any changes but medium-term if (a) we cannot reach
Tim and (b) there is a consensus among all major contributors then I
could consider changing the source for the primary mirror. (We feed all
the secondary mirrors.)
Incidentally trinitydesktop.org domain registration expires in less than
a year.

You have got to the point 100% Alexis. It is our concern as well and we have been thinking
about a solution for quite
a while. No need to worry :-)

I would say that regardless of the problems mentioned, the project is doing
well. Here are some moments that make us already have services that are
independent of the primary site:
At the beginning of 2014 there were problems on the primary site - the
build of the packages was suspended. As an alternative to this situation,
the Preliminary Stable Builds repository was created. This repository is
completely independent of the primary server - in providing space and
especially in building packages. Although building is not fully automated
like QuickBuild, we are able to build packages and publish repositories
independently of the primary site.
There was another important moment in the fall of 2015. We got as a
donation from vpsFree.org one virtual machine (VPS). This VPS first served
as a readonly mirror of GIT repositories (CGit web interface).
Another important task for VPS was to create a primary redirector. With
optimizations and caches, this redirector helps significantly in releasing
new releases. At the same time, it resolved access to packages in case of
problems or outages on the primary site.
Another important moment was summer 2018. We launched Trinity Gitea
Workspace (TGW) at the VPS. This service is also independent of the
primary site. And now it works as a prime location for all our developers.
I would say that thanks to TGW we have moved forward significantly over
the last three quarters of the year.
Nowadays, there is another service on VPS that we will soon announce - a
translation management tool.
As you can see, donating VPS from vpsFree.org has made a significant
contribution to us. It is possible that the intended structural changes
will require additional costs. However, we hope that we will be able to
get support at community or personal level, that there will be no need to
involve commercial entities.
Cheers

Thanks Emanoil,
TGW has made a big difference in our workflow, as you know well. And the VPS server too,
in fact some of the services
(TGW and translation framework) are only available there.
Regardless of what happens with the main server and Tim, the project will survive :-)
Cheers
