Hi,
|
|
|
|
In the spring, at the request of Lars Wirzenius (who was LDP leader at
|
|
the time), I registered the linuxdoc.org domain name, setup the zone
|
|
files in my DNS, and paid the $70 US Internic fee myself.
|
|
|
|
I'm now very displeased to see that the domain name is now being used
|
|
to run banner ads for a commercial company. :-(
|
|
|
|
Also, I have had some difficulty interfacing with the "core team".
|
|
Given the track record so far, I've lost confidence that they aren't
|
|
going to make another big screwup. Now that I see that money and
|
|
contracts are involved, that makes me doubly uncomfortable.
|
|
|
|
Since I'm managing the DNS, that puts me in a funny situation of being
|
|
the only person outside of the core team that could conceivably yank
|
|
the domain name away from them if things went really bad. If there is
|
|
a mutiny of some sort, people will be approaching me to break ranks
|
|
with the core team. I've had a domain name yanked out from under me
|
|
(linuxhq.com), and it's pretty unpleasant. So I don't want to be in
|
|
this position.
|
|
|
|
So, I'm asking for a volunteer (preferably someone who has confidence
|
|
in the core team, or a member of the core team) to take over the DNS
|
|
duties from me. I'll continue to run the DNS until somebody
|
|
volunteers, so don't worry about me shutting things down or anything
|
|
like that.
|
|
|
|
If I wasn't in the whois record, I probably wouldn't have been so
|
|
vocal about the banner ad - because it wouldn't reflect on me
|
|
indirectly. So volunteering to take over my DNS duties would be a
|
|
good way to shut me up. :-)
|
|
|
|
Cheers,
|
|
|
|
- Jim
