[TriLUG] Hello all

[Peter Neilson via TriLUG]

The translation of that web page via Google Translate is pretty good. The  
story, though, is dismal. "... growing lack of interest ..."

"Since Kysoh put the key under the door, I alone finance the domain name  
and hosting.
  I am announcing that I have renewed for the last year (until November  
2015).
  Not that it is an unreasonable expense, it is mainly because of the  
growing lack of interest in the community.
  Until then, I will ensure as much as possible maintenance tools (site,  
forum, wiki).
  A few months before the fateful date I will make sure to organize the  
troops if they wish in order to find ways
  for accommodation / areas. Otherwise, I will save while waiting for any  
signs of life of the Tuxdroid'Users"

My take on it? Not worth any effort. Do something else.
