Good Day All!<br>
<br>
I received the following message today about the status of BLAG on
GNU's list of endorsed distros and wanted to touch base with the
BLAG community to see where it is at. I have not participated in
BLAG since 2010/2011 and during that time I review conversations on
the forums and visit the IRC channel occasionally to see what
conversations and discussions are happening.<br>
<br>
I have not been in contact with Jeff Moe at anytime and I am not
sure how long ago Joshua spoke with him, but the community has taken
several efforts have been made to re-ignite BLAG. Since today
represents the usually weekly meeting day, I recommend that those
that can meet on IRC at 7PM discuss the topic. For those who can not
make it, please use the mailing list and forums respectively.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>

<pre>Dear Abdur-Rahman,
A while back I spoke with Jeff Moe about blag GNU/Linux. From our
conversation, I was under the impression that blag is no longer being
actively maintained. As such, I have removed it from the list of
endorsed GNU/Linux distros on gnu.org,
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html"><http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html></a>.
While updating our internal documentation, I noticed that I now have
your contact address on file. I just wanted to make sure that this was
not done in error. If in fact blag is still being actively maintained,
then I hope you will accept my apologies, and I will of course add it
back to the endorsed distros list.
Best,
Josh
