Space (like list administration) isn't an issue, though it's good to
know that we might be able to use Epic someday. The problem here is
time. To this point, we haven't had enough people with the requisite
knowledge to do ~10 hours of work to migrate to the new server. It
follows that we also haven't had enough people with the requisite
knowledge to do ~3 hours of work to give a talk about it.

We have hardware, connectivity, a general plan, projectors,
presentation space and a handful of willing helpers. What we need is
someone (or a few someones) to do a bit more.
