Discussion#

  • New members will form the core of the committee.

    • New time will favor the new members available time over the existing members.

    • Optional (aka when they have free time) Andy, Irfan and Mridul

  • Covered some project demands we got via emails for AWS credits.

  • Covered rackspace servers to reduce the monthly bill.

  • Review of servers again, who to contact with an open GitHub issue to track this: numfocus/infrastructure#60

  • Hope to transition specific webpages to GitHub or another static service.

  • Grants application(s):

    • What are valuable infrastructure initiatives for the projects?

      • CI/CD pieces that are longer than what you can do on GitHub for free

      • Security audits

      • GPU requests, being able to support accelerators

      • Paid services that GitHub Actions offers

      • CoPilot Pro

    • What’s a reasonable cost estimate?

      • Say 200$ a month per project.

        • Not all projects would need it but it provides a good total amount.

    • What are some potential funding sources?

Action items#

  • Upload notes to the website

  • Reach out and delete/transfer Rackspace Cloud Servers
