Well it looks like lmms.org is hold by a company whose website is located
at lastmilemobilesolutions.com.
I tried contacting them via (a) the contact from on their website and (b)
the email address lastmilemobilesolutions....@proxy.dreamhost.com (acquired
using whois).
I sent them this message last Wednesday:
Dear Sir or Madam,
>
My name is […], I am a member of the development team building the free
> open source digital audio workstation LMMS.
>
After 10 years of development, we are still looking for a good domain for
> our website (currently still at http://lmms.sourceforge.net) that users
> can easily remember.
> Obviously, the best domain for this would be lmms.org. However, it seems
> to be registered by your company. I noticed several things, please tell me
> if you can confirm them:
>
(a) You're website is located at www.lastmilemobilesolutions.com.
> (b) lmms.org is apparently not used as it does not respond to any pinging
> (c) lmms.org expires in nine days
>
Considering those points and the fact that .org stands for "organization"
> and therefore does not fit a commercial company like yours that well, I'd
> like to ask you:
Is it possible for lmms.org to be transferred to us and be used for
> directing users to our website? As the domain does not point to any website
> at the moment, this change would not cost you any visitors, but instead
> bring us a lot more.
> As this would help the popularity and success of our software, the whole
> team will greatly appreciate it if you are able to take a step in our
> direction.
>
I hope for an agreement to both your and our satisfaction, and I'm looking
> forward to a hopefully positive response from your side.

Sincerely Yours,

Let's see if they'll answer… I don't have much hope though.
Apart from that, the domain expires this Friday (2014-05-16T08:11:44Z).
It's unlikely, but as the company has never used the domain, they may not
update it?
