List migrations are always a large pain though. The IRC channel is used infrequently enough that renaming it shouldn't be a big deal at all. Or just disbanding it, since we never actually meet there. > Second, the issue tracker https://fedorahosted.org/board/ is private.

This sounds like a decent plan. I might advocate for simply closing all tickets in the current instance or migrating them to the public one so we start with clean slates. josh _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
