Building openSUSE Mirror(s) in Mauritius
Making small steps in Africa
Ish Sookun
I work for La Sentinelle Ltd as a Systems Architect. I am passionate about Linux & OSS. I've been around the openSUSE community since 2009, organizing openSUSE installfests in Mauritius and talk at local meetups/conferences. I manage openSUSE mirrors in Mauritius and South Africa. If you'd like to sponsor a mirror in Africa, let's talk, ishwon@opensuse.org.
No video of the event yet, sorry!
At oSC23, I presented the challenges that we, a small community of openSUSE users, faced back home when building our first mirror in Mauritius. Two years later, I'm sharing updates on how we're expanding further and adding a second mirror in Mauritius to host more mirror content for the local community.
We still face challenges, which I will share during this talk, and I hope it triggers a discussion around how we can further optimize and support mirrors for smaller economies. If we get things right, it can be a template for other countries that still do not feature on mirrors.opensuse.org.
