Infrastructure Team

• Gandi is shutting down the data center where our VM are deployed, we need to migrate them (to a different Gandi datacenter) before December this year
  • we asked if automatic migration will be an option; it isn't currently, but they'll check if they can do something to help us out
• reviewed mail setup needs for CiviCRM integration. Solved outstanding issues for both outgoing (civi → world) and incoming emails (bounces)
  • outgoing email is still suboptimal, as the Gandi PHP installation doesn't seem to validate Gandi TLS certificate that we use for SMTPS. We have submitted a ticket to Gandi about this, which has been escalated to level 2 tech support
