 Replying to [comment:11 jachym]:
 > @wildintellect, @martin: yes this ticket was meant as "starting point
 for discussion" (even I agree, it seems to be formulated as "taking
 action, deal with it" - sorry for that).

 As a SAC member, I strongly recommend to the board to set up a *wiki* page
 describing their goals.
 A ticket system is not ideal for a discussion and wishes and comments are
 already scattered here over 11+ comments.

 The stated target to "Take some work from SAC" is nice but not yet clear
 at all. "setting up mails (e.g. new board members, every 2 years)" takes
 rather seconds than minutes and is not an issue at all.

 I am guessing that you want to provide mailboxes to some OSGeo roles or to
 some community members or to..? Please add this to the wiki page. You want
 file sharing tools like self-hosted owncloud/seafile for the board? Likely
 doable.

 As a SAC member I don't agree to the view that all stuff should be
 outsourced to 3ed parties for the following reasons
  * sensitive data should be hosted on OSGeo hardware to keep control.
  * nobody knows about the future of the respective 3rd party services.
  * OSGeo SAC members are happy to contribute to the infrastructure
 maintenance. It is also a way for us to keep up to date with technology.
 Obviously things can be improved as always in life.
  * An OSGeo which would literally come without infrastructure is too
 virtual for me.

 Selected stuff may be outsourced but only after a careful assessment and
 SWOT.

 Yes: create a Wiki page and collect all information there which has
 already been asked in this ticket. Add that we discuss individual
 mailboxes here, not the list server with mailman.
