About infrastructure and services Koha uses...
Hello, i'd like to understand if any infrastructure used to host the mailing lists, wiki, the public site, bug trackers, git, pootle, etc., in general, anything that helps provide Koha to the community needs a re-look in the light of plans for the Koha foundation. i haven't researched this yet, but i know, for example that at least (one of?) the demo servers are run by LibLime, the chat channel is hosted on Katipo's servers, etc. I'd like to clarify that i am not imputing any disrespect for these services and the people that very kindly provide them to the community, i am not casting any doubts as to their continuity, etc... Do people think it is preferable in any way to ensure any contracts or other agreements for hosting, etc. are directly entered into between the (to-be-formed) foundation and public service providers. In such a scenario, the foundation can exercise complete control over the resources it uses, and the community then helps administer them. Ahead of the Koha foundation meeting on the 15th, i volunteer to host some or all such services, if any are needed, as well as volunteer time to administer some of them. i am also willing to pitch in to fund such services.

Hi Krishnan I think you are jumping the gun here a bit, the meeting is to talk about the foundation, it won't be formed then and there, it may even be we decide instead to join an existing foundation. I think first we should talk about what shape the foundation might take, then worry about these. Chris

With my more paranoid hat on I think it's good that the services aren't all in one place, it spreads both the responsibility and the risk around.
