This appears to be the latest:

Notice of 3 June 2014. The 9-year-old LUG server computer sustained a small
fire in one of its power supplies on Saturday morning, and is unsalvageable.
I had a standby replacement, but the software on the burned-up computer was
9 years old and would not run on the replacement. So I've been very
laborioiusly doing big-jump software upgrades, e.g. the operating system
from version 7.1 to version 9.2.
It is Tuesday afternoon as I post this, and I have just moments ago gotten
the www service working. The last hurdle that I know about is the LUG email
itself. Conflict between two software packages is giving me fits (Python
2.7.6 and Mailman 2.1.18-1). I know I will eventually get it working, but,
dear God, can't you make this challenge a little easier? If you are a
world-class Python expert I'd love to hear from you (brian@xxxxxxxx).
I remember the famous USA television advert from the 1960s: you can pay me
now, or you can pay me later. I went 9 years without upgrading the software
because it kept working and I didn't want to waste time on needless
upgrades. But now at the end of those 9 years I have had to do all of the
upgrades at once.
Your LUG mail will start arriving as soon as I can get it working. It will
probably take a little longer to get the automatic updates to this page
working.

Regrettably the only Python skills I could offer are of the Monty variety,
which will not help Brian, and probably wouldn't even amuse him in the
present circumstances.

The LUG server computer caught fire Saturday morning and was destroyed.
I've been working round the clock on getting a replacement installed and
configured.
