 # Overall goals
 
-## Need to have
+## Brainstorm
+
+The following are conclusions drawn from the survey, below:
+
+ * email delivery needs to be improved, multiple possible solutions
+   * split eugeni into lists and forwards
+   * setup submit-01 to deliver people's emails
+   * stop treating eugeni as a smart host: have CiviCRM and RT and
+     other machines deliver their own email
+   * CiviCRM needs to handle its bounces
+   * followup on abuse complaints
+ * continue the GitLab migration:
+   * setup GitLab CI for everyone, deprecate Jenkins
+   * migrate away from Gitolite and Gitweb
+ * fix the blog, possible solutions:
+   * migrate to static website and Discourse
+   * fix formatting and improve moderation within Drupal
+ * retire more services:
+   * SVN
+   * fpcentral
+   * schleuder?
+   * testnet?
+   * gitolite (to GitLab, see above)
+   * gitweb (to GitLab, see above)
+   * jenkins (to GitLab, see above)
+ * stabilise service offering, possible solutions:
+   * retire services (see above)
+   * balance FSN/CHI ganeti clusters
+   * finish transitions and migrations (e.g. GitLab, main website,
+     etc)
+   * document "downtimes of 1 hour or longer", maybe part of the
+     monthly report? "how many 9's?" suggest mitigations when
+     downtimes occur
+   * above probably requires auditing and reducing noise in Nagios
+     alerts, because alerts fatigue makes it useless for detecting
+     outages right now
+ * improve developer experience:
+   * provide development/experimental VMs?
+   * give developers more tools to debug problems (e.g. grafana, stack
+     traces hidden in syslog)
+   * improve interaction between TPA and devs when new services are
+     setup
