The current servers running maemo.org also run some other Nokia services. So Nemein has agreed to buy some new servers which will be dedicated to and owned by HiFo, and Nokia will reimburse Nemein for the cost of those servers.

They will be at Nemein's facilities in Finland.

I assume Nemein have been selected because they are doing an absolutely fantastic job maintaining the infrastructure currently and they offered the most competitive bid, right?
Nokia would only reimburse the servers if bought by one of their existing vendors. Nemein hosting will be less than Nokia's current hosting service, Logica, but there was no bidding. I think HiFo would be very receptive to any individuals or parties in the maemo community who could provide long term hosting at a highly discounted price. Nemein's past performance in maintaining the infrastructure didn't factor into it.
