From greg at gregn.net Thu Apr 14 15:59:36 2022 From: greg at gregn.net (Gregory Nowak) Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2022 15:59:36 -0700 Subject: saying farewell to freesoft Message-ID: Hello all. It seems that the e-mail address for one of the people on the notelinux-devel list has become undeliverable for over a month. Besides myself, this leaves Sabahattin as the only other subscriber to the notelinux-devel list. After consulting with Sabahattin, I have decided to officially end the freesoft project. It is unfortunate that we weren't able to bring an open source alternative to keysoft for hardware which is somewhere around 20 years old today, but that is what it is. The notelinux and notelinux-devel lists will cease to function after 23:59 hours UTC on April 30, 2022. After that time, I will archive both lists, and remove them from the list serve software. The current URL for the notelinux list archives will be redirected to the new permanent freesoft archives starting May first 2022, until May first 2023. This should give search engines enough time to start indexing the new URL. To help whoever may want to pick up where we left off, the freesoft project will be archived at: for as long as I continue to host the gregn.net domain. This archive is already available, and includes archives of the notelinux list, as well as the information the freesoft project has managed to gather about the BrailleNote internals. For those who are interested, we only have four subscribers currently to the notelinux list. Namely, Derrick, Sabahattin, Sean, J. R. (the person with the undeliverable address), and yours truly. Thanks to all of you for your support over the last 19 years.
