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
