[cctbxbb] Monthly "how far are we from moving to git" message

[Billy Poon]

Hi Graeme and Markus,

Yes, we have a release ready and we're just waiting a week to see if any
major bugs arise before we officially announce it. Barring any major
issues, we will follow up with you next week about the migration to git.

As for upgrades, I'm fine with going to 2.7.12, but we'd have to test
everything before committing the change. Also, I was going to update numpy
and migrate PIL to Pillow. There are some API changes going from PIL to
Pillow and I think I had some issues with numpy, which is why they were not
upgraded with the other packages. And since I have virtual machines already
set up, testing should be faster.

Also, I'm looking into revamping the Phenix GUI in preparation for a
migration to Python 3 in 2020 (Python 2 support ends in 2020). Since there
is a lot of basic code that need to be rewritten for the GUI, I'm starting
to prepare now. Are there any issues with moving to Python 3 in a few
years? I think Boost should support Python 3, but I have not personally
tested it.
