In the "FYI" / full transparency category:

Today, I completed the transfer of 5 of Open MPI's "convenience" domains from 
GoDaddy to Google Domains:

- open-mpi.com
- open-mpi.net
- openmpi.com
- openmpi.net
- openmpi.org

All these domains do is redirect to https://www.open-mpi.org/ (i.e., our main 
domain).

This was the first step in transferring the domains to the control of SPI 
(since the domains are all currently still in my name).

Tomorrow (Saturday), I'll do the transfer of the last domain -- our main domain 
-- open-mpi.org.  I'll do it tomorrow so that it's not a weekday/workday, and 
the DNS disruption will hopefully be less impactful (the disruption typically 
doesn't last long, but might as well do it over the weekend when we can see via 
Google Analytics that there's tremendously less web site traffic on the 
weekends).

Once this is done, all 6 of our domains will be at Google Domains.

After a mandated "quiet period" (I think it's a month?), we'll be able to 
transfer the ownership of these domains to SPI.
