I have not seen a reply, but we certainly need to respond. It's probably
best to have one person acting as our point of contact just to avoid
confusion (Tim, is that you?).

We will need to rely on Levente for overall guidance and expertise,
but the board needs to take ownership of communicating the strategy and
direction (this should to a main topic for our next SOB meeting). We
also need to identify the scope of work to be done, and find suitable
volunteers to drive each of the services that needs to be migrated, and
to do the actual work of migrating them.

For starters, I will volunteer to do the migration of squeaksource.com
from box3.squeak.org to the new Rackspace servers.
