reSIProcate 1.10.0 was finally released and the packages have now
arrived in EPEL7, that means everything needed for this is now in EPEL
or RHEL itself.

I've been thinking about the domain and I really feel that users will
have to use their full fedoraproject.org addresses rather than
fedrtc.org addresses.  The reason for this is that people will be able
to "Dial" in reply to an email or use addresses that they have already
saved in their contact list.

What is the best way to proceed from here?  Would anybody like to have
an IRC meeting to discuss it perhaps, or to have it on the agenda at
one of the weekly infrastructure meetings?  Is there anybody from the
infrastructure team who would like to login to the lab server where it
runs now to get a feel for what is running there?
