For Alterway, we have one hardware server, and can request VMs. So I'm 
assuming that "2 servers" here means 1 hardware server, and 1 VM?

what services are running on linode now?

I only know of Mailman, an apache for downloads. Are there other 
services we need to host elsewhere? Database server, perhaps?

That was what we requested, and that's the current plan.

I'm not sure if we have a second dedicated host - would need to confirm 
that with Kévin.

My understanding is that Mailman would be running in a VM, Gerrit could 
run in a VM, and we would potentially have a number of Jenkins slave VMs.

Gerrit definitely does. Where is the MediaWiki database running right 
now - on OpenShift? On the main www host, or on a separate gear?

Thanks!
Dave.
