i would like to express my gratitude to ian for hosting the site. it was
difficult when at that time no one really wanted to host it. even with the
bandwidth shortage, we were able to get up a function site. the main
reason why it stagnated was because of the sudden lack of interest.
this lack of interest problem has also been around since the beginning of
plug if i am not mistaken.
the plug webteam is working very hard on ways and means for making the
plug website a bit more presentable and to enable it to be a tool for
promoting linux and PLUG in the philippines.
again thank you ian!
