According to this message from Mattias (smurf's admin)
http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/loco-contacts/2005-June/000000.html
loco teams being hosted at his personal server will be transfered to
linode.com . For this purpose portuguese team got an account @ linode,
as far as I remember to test the service.

I understand at *all* locos from smurf are going to move either to a
server @ ubuntu or to a server from a another provider like linode, so
that's why we should define our needs. Am I wrong, or not?
