(Sorry for the delay in responding, everyone -- my load average has been
excessively high as of late.)

As Karsten said in his earlier email (thanks!), there is indeed a desire
within the TOS community to run the infrastructure ourselves, modeling
it somewhat after (call me biased) Fedora's infrastructure, where all of
our processes and procedures are out in the open, there for anybody to
improve -- a sysadmin abstraction of open source software communities.

On the other hand, I think it would be important to utilize *some* of
OSUOSL's services -- MySQL comes to mind from the IRC log I posted
earlier this week.

We already have plenty of people who want to volunteer -- ctyler
mentioned this in IRC last night. Short of any other discussion/debate
on this topic, I think the next thing to do is to go forth with the
shared-root VM.
