I am happy to work on getting the site running on GitHub pages. One challenge is that GH pages doesn't support SSL. I believe we have two options: 1) Use Cloudflare's free service to do this. I am not fully in favor of this because I feel like it is "fake" SSL because cloudflare pulls from the non-SSL gh pages. 2) I may be able to get us hosting via Red Hat's Open Source and Standards Community Cage program. This would be full featured and probably involve a container (with possible CI interface) running on OpenShift. It is SSL capable.

I may be able to get OSAS to host this mailing list too. I am emailing them today with the following request: 1) A mailing list 2) A web service supporting SSL Can you tell me: a) Who provides our ssl certificate? Lets Encrypt? who? b) Do we have a domain name? I can probably get one purchased if we don't. Alternately there is probably a domain name we can get a po4a@/. on.
