We have consensus that this would be a good idea.
 
Steve mentions that we need to look at mailing lists, addresses, and
web site before cancelling a hosting order.  Nearly all of our mailing
lists are under `obmail', but a few lists were created under other
hosting orders.

People are using it.  How can we improve adoption?
 
Retraining users can take a long time.  We can always keep
evangelizing voices.
 
Is cross posting okay (e.g., facebook, voices, mailing lists)?  Sure,

this very easy to clean up spam posts.
 
Would be nice to have a way to tweet voices content.  Or, to put a voices
RSS feed on occupyboston.org.  These could be future projects.

Steve wanted to talk about the schedule for future obit meetings, but
forgot to bring it up.  I guess we'll talk about it on the mailing
list.
