Sanjay - Could make web hosting more experimental.

Kevin - We want to cater to people who are actually interested in the ocf.

Dara - So, why do staff stick around with the ocf?

Some debate over what interests staff in ocf

Sanjay - To summarize, the main reasons are: 1) Learn about sys admining/how ocf how it works 2) Providing resources to staffers 3) Making an impact.

Loren - XCF woo. Go look at history its interesting a berkeley student spent his undergrad years creating gimp. It sounds like what would make the OCF better is becoming more like the XCF and doing real projects.

Some more discussions ensue
