<p>Board members present:
Colin Putney, Craig Latta, Chris Muller, Levente Uzonyi, Chris
Cunnington, and, special guest Ken Causey</p>
<p>- The topic of the meeting
was moving to a new server</p>
<p>- There are several offers
for free hosting available to Squeak</p>
<p>- Squeak is accepting the
offer from Softlayer [1]. It is also looking at an offer related
to the Software Freedom Conservancy at Gandi. [2]</p>
<p>- The Board realized that
the moving process is not an all-or-nothing proposition. Pieces
can be moved over time. Perhaps even on different servers. So, the
Softlayer offer will now be accepted and closed.</p>
<p>- The difference between a
VPS and a dedicated box was debated with Ken having strong
feelings in favor of a dedicated box, as you knew better what your
resources were</p>
<p>- Ken is willing to help
make the transition to a new server given a window of ninety days,
so he can contribute, while not interfering with his other
commitments</p>
<p>- One of the early pieces
to be moved will be the <a href="http://www.squeak.org" target="_blank">www.squeak.org</a> image, which will be a
Seaside image. The old design of <a href="http://www.squeak.org" target="_blank">www.squeak.org</a> will be retired in
favor of a very small website emphasizing the download of Squeak.
The site will then grow into a fuller and more complete resource
over time</p>
<p>- A major consideration in
the move is the mailing lists run by the GNU Mailman [3]
application. Other parts of the move are the images, FTP archive,
and Mantis SQL database</p>
<p>- Details of the moving
process will be recorded to provide documentation to assist with
upkeep and any future move</p>
