EXPENSE — Server upgrades

VM Victor Matekole Public Seen by 16

We are improving the infrastructure — increasing capacity, reliability and performance next wk. We'll need to bump up HD size and number of servers. Monthly hosting expenses will increase to $24/mth. Mayel has received $78 to date, which sees us through till November with current spec. So he will use up the current balance much earlier so the next invoice will likely be a mth earlier than expected due to the increased costs. Work will commence no later than Aug 28th and should be complete by Sept 1st. During this time there is expected to be nominal downtime.

Phew, this is getting pricey! But we're still at a budget of $112/mo on OC, so this is still much less than that. It doesn't, however, begin to cover any of the labor costs, if we were having to pay for those. Thank you, guys, for your work on this.

Not sure what the proposal is, this sounds more like a report than a question. However I agree with the expense. Need to set up my payment draw.

I've now submitted the expense on OpenCollective for 6 months (Sept 2017 to Feb 2018, inclusive) @ntnsndr @victormatekole
