I'm not an insider, so I might get this wrong. The GTALUG mailing list and web site are hosted on a linode.com machine. It appears that the service was paid for through Chris Browne. When he died, it appears that payments stopped and the machine went dark (December 17 or perhaps a bit later). I asked linode if I could pay for the node so that it could be restarted. I told them (correctly) that I had no authority. They have temporarily started the node. This will last for one billing cycle (whatever that is) while they consider what to do. I appologize for my unauthorized intervention but the mailing list is our lifeblood. Alex is working on a replacement for the linode node.
