As you may all have noticed, haskell.org is down again. We've contacted 
them to actually investigate this time rather than just sending a reboot 
request. But that's meant that we're staying down for the moment. I 
guess worst-case-scenario tomorrow we just do the reboot to be back in 
shape for monday.

Our experiences with hetzner have not been great lately, and I've heard 
bad experiences now from other members of the haskell community as well 
as elsewhere (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6577465).

I was directed to the osu open source lab which provides hosting gratis 
to lots of big projects [including spi itself] (http://osuosl.org/about) 
and took it on myself to contact them to discuss hosting options for 
some or all of our infrastructure. Migrating again will of course be 
some work, but it could potentially buy us both stability and cheaper 
hosting. They haven't even gotten back to me yet, so I'm not currently 
proposing we do anything in particular, but I want to point out the option.

Additionally, we have now, I believe, "bought out" ownership of abbot, 
though it still resides at galois. We could potentially move it to the 
osuosl and take the burden of hosting it from galois, potentially 
bringing it back into rotation as an active server.

Anyway, just wanted to fill folks in on the latest and solicit a round 
of ideas/thoughts.

Thanks, as always, to Austin, for actually being the point-person with 
hetzner.
