Does it mean the above wiki page section is wrong ?
It says new VMs should be asked to OSL after SAC agreed we need it ?

I have some experience with Vagrant and Docker, could we get a new IP
to associate with the new VM ?

Could you make a call for quotes to do the VM and Wordpress setup
among SAC and OSGeo members ?

I could give the Vagrant way a try, but I would feel much more
comfortable if someone who already setup VMs on OSGeo infra would
share the current protocols... I read on the (obsoleted?) wiki that
there's something called "Ganeti" which takes care of VM but it is
not clear to me who manages that (OSL ? OSGeo admins ?).
