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.

> Subject: [pm_groups] pm.org hosting changes
>
> 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.
