 A) Hosting on OSGeo Servers at OSUOSL

 In theory we could host it on OSGeo Servers as we do have a lot of server
 capacity now and still about 12 TB of space.

 B) In practice I fear the network bandwidth requirements may make A) OSGeo
 Server hosting not ideal.

 Another option to get around the bandwidth issues is just to setup a cloud
 server on some cloud hoster that offers high bandwidth and is not too
 expensive.

 I would opt for installing LXD - so we could build it easily and move it
 to said cloud hoster and can easily bring it back in if cost becomes too
 high.

 Ones that come to mind are hetzer (used by QGIS), atlantic.net (used by
 PostGIS), digitalocean, or linode (not sure if any projects are currently
 using digitalocean or linode, but I've heard good things about those in
 terms of feature, stability and price.  On one of those we can set up a
 jitsi LXC instance.

 C) Zoom -- I don't have anything personally against Zoom except the price
 seems much higher and high enough that we might not be able to sustain
 past the conference. On the plus side requires least amount of system
 admin care and feeding.

 I like idea B the most in that we could use the extra server for mirroring
 downloads and a read-only repo.osgeo.org mirror.
