Not sure if this is a + or - , Uber uses the cheaper DV for it's
website. No one has an opinion on this? I'd say we need to decide by end
of next week, since we can cancel our new purchase, and still renew the
old cert provider. Maybe I'll talk to people at Foss4gNA about it.

Seems we need to start moving sites tonight to the new cert we have.
Procedure is copy the files from secure to the host with *.osgeo sites.

Then in apache add/replace in ssl site-available configs, note grep all
the sites-available for 443 to find the SSL configs.

SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile    /etc/ssl/osgeo/STAR_osgeo_org.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/star_osgeo_org2016.key
SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/ssl/osgeo/ca-bundle-client.crt

This needs to happen on:
web (osgeo.org)
osgeo6 ( various projects like grass.osgeo)
tracsvn
webextra (osgeo journal)
wiki
download
adhoc?


Any volunteers? Needs to happen before May 1st.

Thanks,
Alex
