Dear all,

We have just resumed during last week the conversations with Nemein about the migration of the infrastructure, which is currently hosted at Logica but administrated by Nemein.

It's yet undecided if we will keep running our services at Nemein or with any other hosting provider (as it also depends on a number of issues yet to clarify with Nokia, funding and possible sponsors).

It's probably that Nemein (i.e. X-Fade) would be able to do some, if not all, the work for migrating the services, but we should be prepared to the possibility that we might need to set up the new infrastructure by ourselves.

In any case, we will need to form an administrators group. This is something I've been pushing for several months without luck up to now, but it seems that Nemein is more responsive now that we have a legal backup.

Now during this week, X-Fade has been travelling and some services have fallen. He already knows about it and would probably fix the problems during next week, but it seems that some people are now thinking that the final shutdown is coming. I've tried to calm down at TMO, but anyhow, it's a good moment to go away with the formation of this official group of administrators, and the first task for them would be to backup as much as possible (just to be prepared for the worse).

I have included in this mail some people that have already volunteered in some occasion to ask you if you really want to be part of the team, please answer if you still want to be part of it. This would be an official position that, if accepted, needs to be ratified in next Board meeting.

While we obtain the necessary root permissions from Nemein and the hosting issues gets solved, I think that joerg_rw and qwazix could coordinate the efforts for backuping everything possible.
