We would like to thank all the volunteers, projects and users that became friends and family in our more than 20 years long journey. It was an honour and pleasure to provide communication facilities for Free / Open Source Software and peer directed projects.
See you all on the other side, keep making the world a better place; collaborate, contribute and communicate.
