Use of proprietary software
---------------------------
**Date of voting**: 2020-04-07

Clarify the "Use of proprietary software" motion from 2020-04-07 to make the process more explicit and organised:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Motion from last month: “Free software should be the first choice for all the tools we use. We should choose proprietary alternatives only when it is proven that free software fails to provide a reasonable solution. The PSC should vote in case a proprietary solution is suggested.”

**Date of voting**: 2020-05-12

**Proponent**: Tim Sutton

**Proposal**: 
The following steps should apply to both a) new solutions as well as b) replacement solutions:

- Someone proposes a new or replacement platform.
- They propose a migration strategy for existing content that needs to move to that platform  (if applicable).
- They propose who will do the migration (if applicable).
- They propose what, if any, funding implications there are.
- They propose a timeline for the migration/rollout.
- They describe how the infrastructure is managed and if it is self-hosted (e.g. do we have backups, who has admin, who fixes issues).
- We vote on it having been given reasonable time to consider the above information and test out the alternative.
- Assuming we vote to agree with the proposal.
- We then start using the new platform.
