I can (continue to) help with e.g. "administering permissions for MifosForge which hosts our JIRA and Confluence tools", although I may not always have enough time. Most of the hosted infrastructure appears to run pretty smoothly though, and doesn't really (seem to?) require must ongoing day-to-day maintenance.
Reg. actual "ownership" of the infrastructure, it's really about two servers only (and the DNS) isn't it - the www.mifos.org and the ci.mifos.org (Hudson). Administration duties aside, a simple question: Will GF continue to pay the bills for hosting these, for the "foreseeable" (into 2012/2013) future?
