How to make Ed Tech Talk sustainable

• How to keep it falling on the shoulders of just a few?
  - Lee suggests threading the hand off, Dave says that will happen after transition to new server, and Drupal redo

• What is everyone doing? Continue discussion in Brainstorm and other sessions and on Community Work page?
  -Transparency, fairness, and open discussion before agreements. There can be a dissent.
  -Alice sez "What are areas that need documentation, what areas need backup, what areas need assistance"
  

Server migration: World Bridges server #3: the education bridges server: not fully funded, but things need to be moved. Goes with multi-site. Server company or university? What do we need and where will we get it? Dave will document this event so others can pick up the thread.

How much more is needed for server #3
