Paris focus: sysadmin, new help guides, tidy, partner pages

AOB (5 mins max - technical discussions should be highlighted to relevant people and rescheduled)
Paris computing infrastructure requirements (e.g., OMERO servers and configuration for workshops) being communicated to Kenny?
Kenny - no requests for server setup yet
Jason - don’t rely on Dundee servers
Douglas - nice to be able to give attendees an account on demo server
Ola - port 80 (web) open etc? Yes - should be OK.
Final decision on BF 4.4 Fiji update site - definitely not happening? Do we write to the lists once more before making a final decision or just point people at work-around on help site?
Helen: Need to document workaround.
Jason: one more e-mail. Johannes response.
Curtis OK with it (4.4 not supported)
