The domain itself costs maybe $20-$25 per year depending on the registrar, Jer is using GoDaddy right now (ew!)
That is pretty much the only cost, between the group members, I am sure hosting can be done for free, many of us have our own machines and MLUG does not take that much space or bandwidth. The mailing list is hosted with koumbit.org, and we use a subdomain of MLUG for it, again, that is free (Thanks Koumbit) Historically, the site was hosted by Alan T., then myself, then Jer. The mailing list was hosted by Jimmy A. at one point, I honestly don't recall if I was hosting it at one point or not. (Which reminds me, I have the admin password for the mailing list, I don't know if anyone is monitoring the pending requests) The point is, beyond the domain cost, there is nothing. But Jer's point is: What are we doing with this? I transferred the domain to Jer as well as the ownership of the LinkedIn group because I am simply not active anymore, and because I left Montreal in 2009 and I don't feel it was appropriate for me to still be the "owner" while I don't even live there anymore. This group was started in 2000 by a group of people that are no longer active, the whole LUG concept has declined recently, and there are thousands of sites that do the same thing, nobody is "advocating" Linux, we already won :) Hope this helps -nick On Thu, Apr 19, 2018 at 8:07 AM, Leslie Satenstein via mlug < [email protected]> wrote: > I have the same questions as Hendrik. > > -- > Mr Leslie Satenstein, > [email protected] > [email protected] > > > Please don't print this e-mail unless you really need to > > CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: The content of this e-mail is confidential, may be > privileged and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee.
