 +
 +** TODO / next steps: **
 +
 +- get the server running and make sure it works (ty squeaky and calix)
 +
 +- next time we need to decide where we will migrate to (hopefully getting the input of others) ... noptlants will make a post about our interim proposal to go with kim sufi month to month for now 
 +
 +
 +- what are the services that sunbeam is hosting, and are their some to retire, and some to add
