[kwlug-disc] KWLUG is changing

I have an idea, let's get a Kanban board up somewhere, I've been using
Trello for my company but since that breaks with the spirit of FOSS
embedded within this project.  Let's try Taiga.io perhaps in a few docker
containers.  This way we can get a "tacti-cool" overview of all of the
things that we need to be done.  This way we can keep with this suggestion
of a "do-ocracy" but move to a more Agile method of managing this project.
I believe that a Kanban will be ideal since we basically just need a fancy
collaborative to-do list.  This way positions can be unofficial and the
first available person who is capable of picking up a task can just cherry
pick what they want to do and one or two people can just be responsible for
chasing up people who have checked out items.

https://taiga.io/

I would be willing to attempt to make a dockerized instance that would be
reasonably portable so in case we DO actually use this thing we can try to
move it somewhere fancier than potentially my desktop.

Also is there a way that I can send my phone number to people without it
being published in the mailing list archives so that I can be reached if
anyone has questions about my maniacal schemes for KWLUG organization.

Another reason why I think that this method is ideal is because
fundamentally the person(s) who run this project still don't really know a
clear cut way to separate the responsibilities officially to people and
whether or not that's even an ideal method to pursue.  I also really love
redundancy and organization so that in case one person is in Russia or
something that month for business someone else can pick up easily where the
last one left off.
