Q1 prioritisation

We discussed the priorities for the coming two months, which will be, in order:

  1. new gnt-dal cluster setup, see milestone 2
  2. self-hosting the forum (@lavamind? march? project ends in July,
    needs to be setup and tested before! created issue
    tpo/tpa/team#41063)
  3. donate page overhaul (meeting this week, @kez, could be Q1, may
    overflow into Q2 - download page in Q2 will need kez as well)
  4. email changes and proposals (TPA-RFC-45, TPA-RFC-47)
  5. bullseye upgrades (milestone 5)
  6. considered lektor-18n update for Google Summer of Code but instead
    we will try to figure out if we keep Lektor at all
    (TPA-RFC-37), then maybe next year depending on the timeline
  7. developer portal people might need help, gaba will put anarcat in touch

OOB / jumpstart

Approved a ~200$USD budget for a jumphost, see tpo/tpa/team#41058.
