[ Ubuntu-BD ] ubuntu-bd.org and linux.org.bd Is Down

[Omi Azad]

Look Shahriar, I know your history of Ubuntu BD and linux.org.bd site 
down. You said about some DNS problem, but all localized Ubuntu sites 
ware up that time. I did not say anything because I know you guys are 
working.

You can ask Russell John that how many times I did complain about 
hosting and site down. Today you changed the server again. Why don't you 
can stay in a single stable place?

And finally what makes you think people of the world would stay in the 
IRC channel. If you have any potential announcement to make, make it on 
the list.

Be professional and please stay away from lame excuses.
