Various input, not all consistent or coherent: * great job, need a solaris zone for new services * we need to do a better job organizing volunteers * more use of sandbox/asylum * infra role mixes policy vs resources * dim's idea of using yahoo boxes for sandboxes * a smaller number of services, well supported is better than a large number of services spottily supported * unpaid volunteers without a track record are presumed to being prone to disappear. Products like MoinMoin, JIRA and others tend to be used beyond expectations, so sandboxes don't solve the problem. Sandbox takes a lot of time. More machines can be ordered, but people can't be. * need and don't have an infrastructure roadmap * we need a way to "grow" new volunteers * happy with three 9's. hiring people makes us lose volunteers * self fulfilling prophesy: pushing away volunteers, and using that to justify the need to hire * need two realms, one at 3 nines, another at a higher level * need a volunteer to help coordinate
