 Hi again,

 Since 6pm UTC today linuxaudio.org is hosted on a new server (actually a
 VM).

 Due to slowly failing hardware on the old machine were urged to perform
 the migration ahead of schedule and were unable to send out a
 notification about it beforehand.

 The hosting is (still) provided by by the Virginia Tech, Department of
 Music and Digital Interactive Sound & Intermedia Studio. Many thanks to
 Ico Bukvic. Daniel James takes care of DNS. and a big thanks to
 Marc-Olivier Barre who manages the email services.

 All systems go.

 Aren't VM's cool?! 
They certainly are cooler that calling Ico on a Sunday morning and
asking him to drive to campus and press the reset-button or sth. :)

but actually optimizing a virtual machine's I/O for >1 TB/month traffic
and sending ~1Million of [valid] emails per month is much harder than on
bare metal.

  The site works but not at the link above. That says
under
 construction. Adding the www in front brings the main page right up.
 The links on the left work but none of the announcement links in the
 middle of the page are working for me at this time. 
Thanks for reporting this. It's good to know there are people who keep
an eye open.

I hazard a guess that this occured because you did not flush your
browsers' DNS cache and/or you were unlucky to just try that while I was
tweaking some apache preferences.

Anyway, there may still be a few minor glitches as we continue to tweak
the system during the next days. - but don't hesitate to contact us
should you experience some unexpected behaviour with the site.

Cheers!
robin
