An idea to help pay for the website... This is already in use at other projects and helps underwrite costs. I use it on my own domain as well:

Offer a "@lxde.org" email address for a donation (you determine that part). I would be delighted to buy one, not only to have a cool email address and support it's ongoing success, but also to raise awareness of the project and it's continuing relevance on both Linux and FreeBSD.

Hi,

Sorry about leaving the website management without a proper plan.

1. It seems like the domain name is restorable, I can purchase it now
and shift the management over to you.
2. I still have website backups if you need to restore or recover the contents.

Someone contacted me about lxde.org domain and it appeared to be expired

Has a solution been found yet?

Who knows anything about how to renew it?
Yao Wei seems to have been in charge so far (see his post from Tue, Jul 15
2025 09:26:55 +0800 here).

If someone were willing to pay for the domain and web space, I would take
care of the website administration (we'd have to figure out about the forum
and blog later).

It would probably be easiest to reactivate everything at gandi.org, but I
don't know if they also hosted things there. If not, redirecting to GitHub
Pages might be a quick temporary solution (I only have push permissions
there).

Best regards,

Ingo
