Comment:

 I'm going to rephrase our options slightly so we can scale them out :)

  1. non-commercial, friends and free hosting (Internet Archive (IA),
 Software Heritage, OSUOSL)
  2. (deliberately kept blank to avoid renumbering)
  3. commercial hosting (e.g. Amazon Glacier, Backblaze)
  4. host our own
  5. spend more time deciding on archival policies
  6. mix of the above

 I've added OSUOSL and Backblaze to the list as well.

 Also, over IRC, roger said:

 {{{
 15:46:30 <+arma1> yep. am leaving that to anarcat for now
 }}}

 not sure that was refering to IA or the entire process, but in any case,
 it seems I'm the one bottomlining this anyways, so I'll just assign this
 myself.

 I can try to reach out to the non-commercial providers. I *would*
 definitely need help to figure out step 5 (better archival policies), ie.
 what to keep and so on. As for "host our own", I honestly think it's the
 simplest option, but maybe it's something we can talk about at the july
 meeting as well...
