Just a reminder, in case anyone was particularly attached to some of these not falling into domain squatter hands.
The ZeroMQ-related domains are held by Doron and were renewed recently (by Doron; thanks). hintjens.com is held by a family member, and auto-renewed recently. So those key ones are sorted out.
Of the others:
Book-related domains [...] codeconnected.org (2016-12-14) cultureandempire.com (2017-08-05) psychopathcode.com (2017-09-28) thepsychopathcode.com (2017-09-28) scalablec.org (2017-01-08) scalable-c.com (2017-01-31) scalablec.com (2017-01-31)
I believe all of those are going to expire on the dates listed -- and for several of them that's either in the next month, or in the next couple of months. (cultureandempire.com is marked to auto-renew, but that's the only exception I know about; I'm planning on leaving that on auto-renew for now, as I think the book is particularly relevant now...)
As far as I know it's okay to let the rest expire, so that's the current plan. If anyone thinks differently please get in touch ASAP.
Software projects (past/present/future): changeflow.com (2017-03-07) openamq.org (2017-08-21) restms.org (2020-10-30)
I still think the first two (changeflow.com, openamq.org) can probably expire in 2017. restms.org might be most usefully transferred to someone else, but I don't have a clear community supported candidate.
Activism related: digistan.org (2017-09-24) eupaco.org (2017-10-25)
These would also be good to transfer, even though the projects are mostly "idle" (eg, there's useful archived information). The previous transfer attempt for one of them failed (timed out; recipient did not respond in the two weeks available to confirm they wanted it). I'm open to hearing from a good community supported candidate to receive them.
Other (unknown/not pointing at anything): xpoc.org (2016-10-21) formiq.io (2017-01-07) swsi.info (2016-10-10) smooth.af (2017-02-01; seems to be a Rick Roll, not sure why) freeandopenwar.com (2017-02-14) ipocracy.org (2016-11-16; redirect to hintjens.com) smoothscript.com (2017-02-15) brusselsvalley.com (2017-02-28)
swsi.info and xpoc.org have already expired, and I've not heard of anyone with a reason to renew them (they're still locked to Pieter's account at present, for a "last chance" renewal). The others mostly expire in the next 3 months or so, and I'm expecting to let them expire. AFAIK they were all "project ideas" of Pieter that never got implemented.
