Mar 31st - Weekly Meeting Agenda Items

I think we need to discuss the Tugboat situation with core pull requests...

https://www.tugboat.qa/pricing

We're currently using the Plus plan (which sells for $99/month, but I believe Tugboat are providing to us free-of-charge). It comes with 40GB of storage, and we seem to be hitting that limit more frequently. We don't currently have any code in place that automatically deletes preview sites after a given timeframe, but I'm no longer sure that's going to solve our problems anyway. The oldest preview site for core is from 4 months ago. So the issue seems to be simply the sheer amount of PRs we're generating (which is great!).

There is a higher plan ('Premium'), that provides 2+TB of storage, so that'd solve our problems no worries. But it costs $499+/month!

Our options as I see them:

1. Continue using Tugboat as-is, and just delete older previews when we start hitting our limit
2. Ask Tugboat if they'd consider up-ing our plan (for free)
3. Decide if we can afford to up our plan and pay for it ourselves
4. Look around for another provider

I see option 1 as our fallback if nothing else works, and what we'll continue doing in the meantime. Option 2 can't hurt to try (I think, need Nate's feedback on our current relationship with Tugboat/Lullabot). Option 3 is up to the PMC (I've no idea what, if any, funds we have available and if Tugboat is a priority enough to justify spending that sort of money on). And option 4 is likely not going to produce any results, especially since we're currently already getting a paid service for free (but can't hurt to look I guess).

Thoughts?

(Note: I wrote this out in detail since I often can't make it to the Dev meeting until about half-way through, so in case this is discussed before I'm there, these are my thoughts and I'd be happy for someone to read them out on my behalf.)
