[okfn-discuss] Hosting of open data for science

[Gael Varoquaux]

Hi list,

I am trying to host a 160Mb dataset on a password-free site. It's a
scientific dataset (namely fMRI data from a classic experiment) that we
want to host to be able to give people open source software reproducing
the publication.

I am somewhat unsure what the best option is for this hosting. I am not
too excited at the idea of relying on my institution's servers, because I
find that it is hard to garantee the future of the data, as people
(including me) move on. Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Gaël
