[OSGeo-Discuss] Possibly, The End of Gmane

[Hogan, Patrick (ARC-PX)]

Thanks Mateusz for sharing this.

This beautifully democratic action by an individual to facilitate community interaction is something a decent government should be supporting, versus surrendering this service to the commercial realm where we are sifted and sold to other commercial entities. 

Whether it is DDoS or frivolous lawsuits, we are watching the demise of what we most need for indulging the evolution of ideas. 

Lars Ingebrigtsen thank you so much for a lifetime of generous giving.

Whatever happens, you have given the world a wonderful gift!

-Patrick

Hi,

Since many of OSGeo members use Gmane, this is relevant

Gmane has been under attack and Lars, the founder of Gmane, is considering to shut it down:
