[OOTB-infra] Live showcase

[Ole Hejlskov]

Just chatted with Heiko on Skype, and bigger server might not be better for the use. I have no opinion on if we should get bigger or more servers. Hopefully we’ll get a 100-130€ budget approved and you guys just decide and tell me what to order :)

I’ll let you know as soon as I have a budget.
