Lyude poked SPI last week, still haven't gotten a response

ITEM: Cloud hosting for freedesktop.org
CI usage is very stable and overall declining on the usage trend, and we're
working with GitLab as well to pursue some helpful upstream improvements.
Benjamin Tissoires has continued some really heroid work to give us a path to
having easier and more modular deployments, but most of the work last month went
to doing a major PostgreSQL migration.
ACTIONS: fdo.org admins to continue improving costs and stability overall
STATUS: Pending

ITEM: GSoC/EVoC
We're still in the community bonding phase, coding officially starts June 1st.
Students is doing well, writing blogs, responding/participating, and submitting
patches for the tools they'll be using. They've also been added to planet.fdo.
ACTIONS: Eric to inform SPI we're going to be part of the GSoC this year, so
they can handle payments.
