20:07 < schultmc> [item 8, Any other business]
20:07 < schultmc> Anything to discuss?
20:07 < tpot> I'd love to get started on the DNS side of things.
20:07 < luca> thanks for updates to SPI form; i'll process this week and publish for review
20:07 < luca> then we can post
20:07 < tpot> Can I get any info from luca or schultmc about access to our DNS hosting providers?
20:08 < schultmc> the new form is much better than previous forms
20:08 < luca> tpot: sure; we use two; happy to coordinate
20:08 < schultmc> right now we're self hosting DNS - iirc at the f2f we talked about migrating DNS to gandi iirc?
20:08 < luca> right; we have two registrars
20:09 < luca> gandi and mythicbeasts
20:09 < luca> gandi offers better delegation of duties
20:09 < luca> so we talked about using them for hosting DNS for the various zone
20:09 < tpot> Right - I'd like to kick that migration off
20:09 < luca> tpot: happy to assist / empower as the case may be
20:10 < tpot> great - thanks!

20:12 < lamby> I am not actually sure at this point. Can someone help? :)
20:13 < schultmc> Next steps would to be having a board member draft the resolution.

20:14 < schultmc> Ganeti needs to determine who the project liaison will be and what services you want SPI to provide
20:15 < schultmc> http://www.spi-inc.org/projects/services/ lists our services
20:15 < sasluc> thanks, we already had some discussion with lamby, will it be OK, if I repeat some of this items and sent it into the RT ticket?
20:15 < lamby> no problem with me
20:15 < schultmc> yes, that would be fine
20:15 < schultmc> lamby: are you drafting the resolution for our april meeting or do you need someone else to do so?
20:16 < sasluc> ok, then I'll send my points into the ticket. tanks, sascha.
20:16 < schultmc> thank you
20:16 < lamby> I can draft the resolution. :)
