Hello - tried to add in everyone's edits. I also created a Gobby doc titled "Infra 2015 YIR" and added to Gobby - Infra Meeting Next as a topic.

Thanks to both of you. ;)
Perhaps we should also try and go over this in the meeting thursday and
then send it off after that? Would give people a chance to look it over
and specific time to read on and comment on it.

Additionally, we worked with Ansible upstream to test the new Ansible

There's also the base mailman3 and postorius (the admin interface).
