Package mirroring / Jisc

[Cantor, Scott]

Jisc, which is the consortium operator and one of the founding board members, has offered to work this year on moving the packages into their Azure cloud, which will mirror things in a few locations around the world in one step. I don't have an ETA on that happening.

We're still willing to rsync or lftp the files to any members or anybody willing to offer open access, and there are a couple of offers for that, nothing in place yet.

Separately, just FYI the data center where our server lives has been having network issues all morning. [1]
