Leaving DreamHost.com hosting

• [done] verify have all www data
• [done] also get robots.txt
• [done] get/verify mysql dump (PhpNuke)

• [MTA accepts for @{{temp,lists}.,}balug.org, pending: "aliases" or equivalent and DNS] @balug.org ("aliases", or equivalent functionality)

• [remaining: old archives, lists.balug.org, miscellaneous follow-through] details: List Migrations

• [partially/mostly staged] stage DNS data for activation on nameservers
• [pending] Before switch, catch up on relevant changes on, e.g. web pages (as those may not be so visible or reliably seen, or have automagic/manual rsync available while transition is in progress, etc.)
• [pending] Notifications - let BALUG-Announce know before we pull the big DNS switcharoo (particularly with TTLs and such, might be some glitches from time of switch until things have settled past the relevant TTLs)
• [blocked by other migration competions first] activate DNS changes on nameservers
• [blocked by other migration competions first] activate DNS changes (delegation) with registrar

• [blocked by DNS migration] "SSL"/TLS cert(s) for lists.balug.org (combine with temp.balug.org and balug.org - no SNI on SMTP)
• [blocked by obtaining cert(s)] install for HTTPS and SMTP (STARTTLS)

• [pending] get at least one quite full current set not only backed up, but at least one copy rotated off-site (we do rather thorough and fairly regular backups, but offsite-rotations aren't quite as frequent - do have one coming up shortly, want to be sure we have relevant stuff backed up and also rotated off-site - would be a lot of work lost if site disaster were to strike before off-site rotation including all that resent work)

• [blocked by pending completions] When completed, notify Michael Hubbard
