Hi all,
I was approached by the person currently holding the [unused] airprobe.org domain name. I guess it was at some point registered and intended to be used for the project (back in the pre-osmocom days). As far as I know it was never actually used for that.
So the question is now if anyone wants to get that domain transferred in order to do something useful with it, or whether the current registrant should simply let it expire?
Regards, Harald
Hi,
If nobody else wants it I would be happy to preserve it, as it is definitely a part of security history and it has a special meaning to me as well, although I was only a user of the project, never a developer. I’d definitely try to host some info on it about the original project (possibly even get back all redmine pages from archive.org) and maybe use it for something else, still mobile networks + security related - nothing concrete in my head right now, just some general direction.
Cheers, Domi

I think I'd be more than happy to offer some hosting space (container, lxc, whatever) on the osmocom infrastructure if anyone wants to create a page with historical data on/about airprobe. This way, chances are high it will remain active/running for as long as the rest of osmocom does.
I just don't feel particularly compelled in paying annual domain registration fees for yet another domain, especially if that domain was not used "back in the day" and there are hence no links/URLs to preserve.
So IMHO the great work would be collecting information, but we could do that just as well under (e.g.) airprobe.osmocom.org without incurring extra cost.
In any case, if you want to take ownership of airprobe.org, it is of course entirely up to you to decide what you'd want to do there. Whether you'd want to host that on your own or on osmocom infrastructure.
Regards, Harald
Hi Harald,
I guess nobody else volunteered, or at least I have not seen any mails. So here is my take: Thanks for the offer of hosting content on osmocom infra, I think that’s a good idea. I would still like to keep the original domain, for sentimental reasons I guess, so what I’d propose is that I take ownership, pay the fees and for now just enable a redirect to the page hosted at Osmocom infra. Maybe later I decide to use the domain for something else, but the osmocom page would still be up, providing info and serving up a trip down memory lane for people interested.
Let me know if this sounds OK.
Cheers, Domi
