So minor hiccup in the idea, the Web vm is a poor choice for where to
hook up the 100GB volume as noted in the reply from osuosl. So is there
another vm that we'd prefer to attach it to?

I was actually surprised to learn 2011.foss4g was on Web, I thought it
would have been on webextra with the 2010 foss4g.

Anyone have a suggestion for a good place to add the drive that makes sense?

Thanks,
