[sane-devel] Should we sign EFF objection letter to sale of .org domain

[Olaf Meeuwissen]

Hi list,

Just to keep you all in the loop, we had 13 thumbs up and 0 thumbs down
so I dashed off the mail you can "admire" in the issue at

  https://gitlab.com/sane-project/ops/issues/29

# It's basically the pre-cooked mail message from the link on
# savedotorg.org with a few pointers to our project added.
