[VPM] Please save victoria.pm

[Peter Scott]

We're hosted there (i.e., http://victoria.pm.org/) and have the usual 
two mailing lists (AFAIK no one uses the digest form, so really just 
the one: victoria-pm at pm.org).

Cc: to victoria.pm for information (mainly Darren's at that); VPM 
members please remove user_groups at pm.org if you reply.

 >
 > For several years, the pm.org server has been hosted for free
 > by Rackspace and we're very grateful to them for the help
 > they've given us.
 > Unfortunately, that free service will be ending very early
 > next year and the pm.org server will be moving elsewhere.
 >
 > As part of the move we are going to have to scale down the
 > level of service that we provide for Perl Monger local
 > groups. Once the new server is established we will provide
 > the following for free:
 >
 >   * Web sites with static content only.
 >   * FTP and/or WebDAV access to maintain web sites.
 >   * Mailing lists.
 >   * DNS
 >
 > The major changes will be that no dynamic content will be
 > allowed and no group leaders will have shell access to the
 > server. We're sorry that we have to put this restrictions in
 > place, but the internet is a very different place to what is
 > was when we set the service up many years ago. If you want to
 > host your site on a less restrictive server that you have
 > more control over then we are, as always, happy to point the
 > DNS records at another server.
 >
 > Also, I'm concerned about the large number of dead groups
 > that we are hosting on the server. This is a particular
 > problem given the amount of spam that is sent to mailing
 > lists. As a result of this, we'll only be moving over web
 > sites and mailing lists if they are specifically requested.
 >
 > If you want your web site and/or mailing moved to the new
 > server, then please send an email with the subject 'Please
 > save [xxx].pm' (replacing [xxx] with the name of your group)
 > to user_groups at pm.org. Within the email, please list the url
 > of your site and the name of your mailing list(s).
 >
 > If you want your DNS pointed to another server, then please
 > send details of the change to support at pm.org.
 >
 > PLEASE DON'T SEND THESE REQUESTS BACK TO THIS LIST.
