            <br>
            a few weeks back I noticed that the sources of MOSS ("oldest
            open source GIS") were taken offline by BLM.<br>
            Others have noticed this earlier as the fact is mentioned on
            the Sol Katz award wikipage (<a
              href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Sol_Katz_Award"
              rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Sol_Katz_Award</a>).<br>
            <br>
            In the meantime I contacted the library staff of BLM - they
            did not keep a digital copy of the MOSS sources.<br>
            <br>
            If the source code of MOSS should be recovered, I would like
            to propose to make MOSS a OSGeo "heritage" project or
            something similar, and to preserve the sources in an
            OSGeo-controlled software repo. At the very least, we could
            make sure to deposit the code in the Zenodo archive.<br>
            <br>
            In the meantime, I went ahead and created a wiki page with
            links to still existing MOSS-related documentation:<br>

            <br>
            best,<br>
            Peter<br>
            <br>
            PS: If anyone of y'all should have a local copy of the MOSS
            repo, please speak up :-)<br>
