LGM Infrastructure: Domain names, DNS and Web Hosting

[Lasse Fister]

Hi all, 

after our meeting on IRC/Matrix yesterday and since KDE has confirmed
that they are willing to support us, should we meet in chat and discuss
a plan for transitions and details?

We could also
use https://github.com/libregraphicsmeeting/infrastructure to discuss,
and create a plan.

L.
