Our existing VM hosts are starting to fail and to provide continuity for VM services, we decided to purchase 4 SSDs, shipped immediately to the OSL so we cna rebuild the RAID arrays. This purchase was an emergency one, as without action it was likely that we would have 4-6 hosts fail and lose significant data, causing problems for operating Gentoo. We spend about 2 hours shopping online and eventually ordered 4 SSDs.
Created attachment 767076 [details] Invoice for the 4 SSDs.

my paypal should be antarus@scriptkitty.com
Council, Trustees: Could you please vote to retroactively approve this emergency expenditure & reimbursement, as previously mentioned on IRC. Using antarus's credit card directly was not the ideal option, but the bank triggered a potential fraud issue which would have significantly delayed the transaction.
Council vote: yes
Council vote: yes that's a good drive I use myself.
trustee vote: yes
Council vote: yes. Would be nice if we stopped making a habit of such out-of-band votes, though.
Council: Thank you. Trustees: anarchy, soap: please vote to approve reimbursing antarus
Trustee vote: yes
yes
