Consider contacting the people at the Oregon State University Open Source Lab. If we offer to meet costs, even partial, I suspect they will be willing to host our services. They might still be willing even if we don't offer simply because of the nature of our project. But as we now do pay our own expenses, more or less, I believe we should offer to cover costs as much as we can pay.

OSUOSL is popular and dependable.

I'm not affiliated with them in any way. OSUOSL is one of the primary mirrors for Slackware. Hence my familiarity.
