hi, is there any new storage available on the community cage which can host RPMs or large documentation files?
We're are also looking for a place to move official oVirt releases too.

Quack, interesting suject.
As for OSAS services, we current do not have much storage. In 1-2 months we'll have new hardware, so we'll be able to help projects needing real space.
What we can offer now is builders, because it's just a bit of CPU and RAM, and we can help build the chain properly and deploy it with Ansible (https://gitlab.com/osas/community-cage-infra-ansible). For example we recently added the Gnocchi project (http://gnocchi.xyz/), and people from the project can contribute to their own system (and they did). The result can be published directly of synced outside. And we help maintain the stuff.
When the RDO Cloud or other such projects are ready for production, we could also use these resources.

Cat we use a container in the production OpenShift for this? We can probably make an s2i container that will run mkdocs or something to build and host the documentation. It can be an interesting and useful side-project...

I can bring up a separate VM for this purpose. We are not constrained in resources to pile up different services on the same machine. Would that be OK?

any ideas?
Nothing comes to my mind, but I do believe we shouldn't use resources for it.

I hoped to have a place for files like odp, ppt or pdf.
Currently we don't have a place to put presentations from deepdives, conferences, etc.
Github is not a good place due to space limitations (1G).
readthedocs.org supports reStructuredText and Markdown.
Can you suggest anything else that could serve as a document/presentation/other resource repository?

resources is a yum repository without external access, its a production system that is being used by all the CI system and holds official releases, its not a documentation placeholder.
Currently the oVirt documentation is scattered around GitHub pages ( like ovirt-sdk ) and on ovirt.org
Infra team maintains read the doc page to hold all the infra docs [1], you might consider doing the same for your project.
if its presentation/videos, then oVirt has its own youtube channel to hold such things.
If any of the above doesn't fit the need, then we need to think on an alternate solution, maybe to increase size on GitHub.
- What sort of documentation solution is provided as part of the community cage? is there an option to extend the GitHub space limitation?

Can you please grant me write access on: http://resources.ovirt.org/repos/docs/
There is a need to host some docs (like presentations) on ovirt site. Ovirt site itself is not a good place for this due to github space limitations. The idea is to host the actual docs here, and link them on ovirt-site.
