+
+- Choose a mirror close to you
+- Do not sync in a interval shorter than 3 hours
+- Avoid syncing at minute 0 of the hour, use something between 0 and 59
+
+
+Becoming a mirror
+=================
+
+If you want to provide a public mirror for other users of Ceph you can opt to
+become a official mirror.
+
+To make sure all mirrors meet the same standards some requirements have been
+set for all mirrors. These can be found on `GitHub`_.
+
+If you want to apply for an official mirror, please contact the ceph-users mailinglist.
