[RTC List] Bringing Delta Airlines to the Eureka/Arcata Airport

[Sean Connors]

Ok, I've really been trying to refrain, and perhaps waiting for a list 
moderator to pipe in . . . . but could we PU-LEASE keep this list focused on 
technology issues affecting the North Coast?

These conversations too often go off topic and then degenerate into personal 
stuff the rest of us don't have any interest in on this list ( there are 
plenty of other forums to discuss these niche issues ).

If you feel a need to slam someone ( lots of Rob Arkley slammers out there 
apparently; and frankly, I think Mr. Arkley has really tried well to put the 
discussion back on topic ), please take it off-list.

As per the subject line here, this discussion should be about "Bringing 
Delta Airlines to the Eureka/Arcata Airport", not about sustainability 
views, political dichotomies, or personal jabs.

I'm pretty certain that by far most of us on this list are tech. 
professionals . . . . and would prefer not to have our time wasted by this 
off-topic banter.

This being said, one subject that did come up in all of this had to do with 
the carbon footprint of servers. All of our servers are in a colo. in 
Sacramento, and I've been wanting to start researching how I can determine 
how we could estimate or calculate what our carbon footprint is for our 32 U 
rack. I mean, we have the power to the machines themselves, the portion of 
power used to control the environment, etc.

I haven't got started on the research on this yet, but if anyone could point 
us toward a starting place, I'd appreciate it.

All the best,

--  Sean
