[tor-project] minutes from the sysadmin meeting

[Antoine Beaupré]

Hi!

The moment you have all been waiting for: the first sysadmin minutes of
2023! Whoohoo!

# Roll call: who's there and emergencies

There was a failed drive in fsn-node-03, handled before the meeting,
see [tpo/tpa/team#41060][].

# Q1 prioritisation

We discussed the priorities for the coming two months, which will be, in order:

 1. new gnt-dal cluster setup, see [milestone 2][]
 2. self-hosting the forum (@lavamind? march? project ends in July,
    needs to be setup and tested before! created issue
    [tpo/tpa/team#41063][])
 3. donate page overhaul (meeting this week, @kez, could be Q1, may
    overflow into Q2 - download page in Q2 will need kez as well)
 5. email changes and proposals ([TPA-RFC-45][], [TPA-RFC-47][])
 6. bullseye upgrades ([milestone 5][])
 7. considered lektor-18n update for Google Summer of Code but instead
    we will try to figure out if we keep Lektor at all
    ([TPA-RFC-37][]), then maybe next year depending on the timeline
 8. developer portal people might need help, gaba will put anarcat in touch
