So let's be fair to Rick.
Who else cares to let the group keep running and is willing to put in some
work behind it?
I've given 9 years myself, so I'm not volunteering again. Rick has by now
likely put in more work than I have, and honestly it's time for someone else
to step in (one or several people).
Hell, it's actually embarassing that svlug is still relying on the machine I
setup in 1999 or so, and some miracle that it hasn't blown up and been
exploited into oblivion yet (although grsecurity gets some credit there).

If no one does, I think it's then fair to say that SVLUG had it's good years
and that it's now time to let it be.
Having Rick constantly be on the hook for everything is not fair to him.

In other words, what I'm proposing is that if no one steps in here in this
thread and puts in the work to take over, I recommend that Rick stops his
efforts and that SVLUG just ends here.

It's been a good 20 or so years, and it can stop here unless you are
interested in making it continue.
