if I can: please do it ASAP, then plan to migrate on (possibly new)
machines hosted by members [1]

I don't have metrics but AFAIU milano-guix-1 should be used only as
build server (as it is now), given it's the only build server for
x86_64-linux in the bordeaux build farm (see
id:87ttp4luq3.fsf@cbaines.net to guix-sysadmin@gnu.org)

Anyway:

  With a little help from my contact in UNIMI (Milan University, where
  milano-guix-1 is hosted) I could find 3/4 additional rack units and
  related internet connection to host more hardware near milano-guix-1.

  After that, we "just" need to buy more machines to be hosted at UNIMI,
  if FSF/Guix Europe have some budget for that.

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
(see id:87zfyu3r48.fsf@xelera.eu to guix-sysadmin@gnu.org on
2023-12-01)

caveat: I'm not sure I can succesfully get more rack units at UNIMI, but
I can try.

HTH! Gio'
