4. Open floor
=============

4.1. updates from robbat2 on new infra machines (discussion itself happened
before actual open floor started due to time constraints):
 the new servers are online; all existing VMs are migrated.
 the old servers are powered down to save some power in the rack for now.

 still todo:
  migrate dipper.g.o from physical harder into new VM hosts
  then wipe & reinstall the old servers; to bring up more dev/build capacity

4.2. robbat2 also requested council to "increase policy around about what should
    be done for developers who retire/are-retired,
    w.r.t: 1. live votes; should they be counted if cast before deadline;
    2. overlays converting from developer overlays to user overlays"
 this kind of request should be presented using usual agenda workflow and was
 not discussed this time.

4.3. ulm is working on glep 0083 a.k.a. EAPI deprecation timeline GLEP,
 will post for review on dev ml.

4.4. Council agree that situation with foundation/umbrella needs to be revived,
