We haven't started moving but I'm hoping that will happen within the next month.
We're working out some final admin details with the new location. It's really up
to you with how the move might impact the service eventually being hosted on the
new system. I don't think it will be a problem if we go ahead and get it setup
sooner than later since I don't think we'll be ready to move in for at least
another month.

Let me know when you're completely done with osgeo5 so we can wipe the disks and
see if there's any more use we can get out of it. Otherwise, we'll send it to
surplus if that's okay with you.

Thanks-
