Well, it has already been discussed with FSF France people and it's okay,
the plus is that we have hosting space and connectivity that's why I 
proposed
to just buy and install machines there (in the process, we'll
replace an old FSF Europe machine by a new one ). The donation
is not done yet, I wanted to ask if the GCC people were
okay with the idea before proceeding.
