Website owner

[BazzaCAD]

Hi Everyone,
Unfortunately, I'm no longer doing CAD customization anymore & I haven't been keeping up with this project lately. I wondering if there are any active members that would be willing to take over the site? You would need to be able to keep the domain registered, set up a hosting service or VM with WordPress & SMF installed (although the WordPress site isn't really used much any more) and all the other webmaster related tasks...

One or more of the CAD companies should sponsor this, you should consider reaching out to test the waters.
Maybe Bricsys?

Thanks for the many (almost 20!) years that you've managed this web site, Barry. You are one of many, many people I've encountered over the years who serve quietly, and do it well, without fanfare or glory. I hope someone else will step in to take over the responsibility. I'm pretty sure there are willing sponsors (and other members) to pick up the tab, but I think it is best if the web site remains independent and managed by one of our members.

Hi, Barry,

at first, thank you for maintaining the website and forum through the last decades.

You would need to be able to keep the domain registered, set up a hosting service or VM with WordPress & SMF installed [...] and all the other webmaster related tasks...

The thing is, purely technically I do have the chance to take over the site but unfortunately, I have no experiences in setting up and maintaining WordPress and SMF. If there's a chance to make me know all the needed knowledge, I could do this. Barry, maybe we have a chance for a video call next week.

With regards,
Fred

Thanks for the offer Fred. Do you have any experience with maintaining a web server or Linux?

[Fred Tomke]

Hi, Barry, sorry, unfortunately, I have no experience in Linux. I thought, that I could take over it to my webserver at Strato. I already registered opendcl.de in the past.
With regards, Fred
