Hey, everyone. I resubscribed to cctalk tonight.
I'm way too swamped lately (in fact, for the past year or two) to
adequately maintain the
PDP11.ORG and
DECVAX.ORG domain(s) and web
sites.
I'm looking for someone, fairly involved with the community, who would
like to take over ownership of the domains, web sites, etc. I can keep
hosting the DNS (if you wish), or provide secondary/backup DNS if
needed. I just don't have the time to work on them anymore, and have
moved away from older DEC stuff.
My only "requirement" is that whomever takes over this project (whether
it be one person, or two people; one for VAX and one for PDP) is that you
put some effort into it, that you be knowledgeable about the subject
matter, and that you don't just let the sites languish.
Getting reimbursed for the $30 I've spent on renewing the domains this
year would be nice, but not required. 8-)
I've also got about a truck-full (maybe a station wagon load, maybe
less) of old DEC documentation, handbooks, software on paper tape, a
disc pack or two... Jeff Sharp has seen my garage. 8-) I can't ship any
of it (unless you provide a FedEx or UPS account number to bill to), and
would like to avoid throwing it in the trash. At least 3-4 "storage tubs"
of manuals and documentation, a mixed VMS 4/5 "orange wall", and various
other things.
If you're interested, please contact me by email. I don't have time for
DEC/PDP stuff anymore, and need the space in my garage back - but want
it all to go to someone worthwhile.
Bill
