Intent to close this list

[Christoph Wickert]

Hi there,

I'd like to close this list since it seems is dead. It hasn't seen any
posts since June 2019.

After closing this list, please use [e-mail] for
any LXDE related questions. You will reach a *much* broader audience
there (this list only has 115 subscribers).

If you want to keep this list, speak up within the next 7 days and
state your intent to take over list ownership. Beware, the owner's
address is heavily spammed.

Best regards,
Christoph

I guess that makes sense.  I subscribed because I use lxde and wanted
to see any new developments.  If they aren't reported here, then it
isn't doing anything.  I haven't really had any issues with lxde, so
haven't had to ask for any help.  That's a plus in my book.

This list is intended for discussions about LXDE in Fedora, mostly for
reporting problems and finding solutions. Even when the list was still
(more) active, we did not announce new releases here because they
would find their way into the distribution automatically.

If you are interested in new releases, these are your options:
* subscribe to the upstream LXDE mailing list at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lxde/lists/lxde-list
* regularly check the LXDE blog at https://blog.lxde.org/ (or
subscribe to it's RSS feed)
* subscribe to new releases on https://sourceforge.net/projects/lxde/
* watch the git repositories at https://github.com/lxde

Thanks for your feedback. As announcing releases is not the use case
for this list, I'm still in favor of closing it.

Best regards,
Christoph

Just out of curiosity, is LXDE still being developed or maintained
somewhere by someone or some team?

I'm afraid not. The last release was almost a year ago (lxpanel
0.10.1, a bugfix release) and the git repos seem mostly inactive, see
https://github.com/orgs/lxde/repositories

Most developers and users have moved on to LXQt, which is doing very
well with regular releases and a large community. It's also available
in Fedora, so I can only recommend you and everybody switch to LXQt.

Thanks everybody for your interest in LXDE!

Best regards,
Christoph
