[Beowulf] ADMIN: Beowulf mailing list outage - now resolved

[Chris Samuel]

Hi all,

Unfortunately we had an unexpected outage for the Beowulf mailing list 
from last weekend through to today. As you may know this list was until 
a few years ago run by Don Becker at Penguin Computing and I took it 
over after he'd left and it had been running on autopilot.

It now runs on a VM I provide and Penguin had kindly delegated the DNS 
to the hosting company I use, but it appears there was confusion over 
who owned the domain and its registration lapsed (I suspect on the 
weekend). I realised on Wednesday and after some frantic emailing of 
people at both Penguin and in the community (thanks Doug, Lara!) contact 
was re-established and Penguin have kindly renewed the domain for 5 
years and we're back in business.

Apologies for this!  I should have realised that I wasn't getting the 
usual spam that gets sent to the admin address earlier but I was out at 
the Slurm Users Group. :-D

All the best,
Chris
