    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi all,</div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">The Straw Bale Registry server started
      giving me problems just last week... it is currently offline, and
      since we're under "stay at home" orders here in Austin, TX, it'll
      probably be next week at the earliest, possibly the week after
      that before I can address the problem.  The Registry is the only
      thing on that server.<br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">The Registry server and the software
      that runs the Registry are both pretty old.  I've been wanting to
      completely overhaul it and expand the scope for years, but I don't
      have any funding to do that - We received some funding to build it
      initially (shout out to Catherine Wanek), but there's been pretty
      much nothing ever since.  <br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">I have the data from the Registry
      downloaded of course.  I suspect it'll take a fair bit of work to
      make it usable. I also suspect that the contact info for a fair
      number of the listed buildings is waaaay out of date as we've done
      nothing to remind people to update their listings for a very long
      time. But we do have location info, if someone wanted to follow up
      on that. <br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">You can see some of the data by going
      to <a
href="http://web.archive.org/web/20190904143620/http://sbregistry.sustainablesources.com/search.straw">http://web.archive.org/web/20190904143620/http://sbregistry.sustainablesources.com/search.straw</a>. 
      They didn't archive all the way down in many cases, and of course
      they could only see the info which is publicly visible.  A lot of
      SB people are pretty adamant about their privacy and we took pains
      to insure that we could collect data about their SBs without
      making it public except in a general aggregate form.</div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Remember also that some years into this
      project, State Farm decided to use the Registry to identify and
      deny insurance to SB homes - the exact opposite of our intent. 
      That resulted in further restrictions on what identifying info we
      were able and willing to share.  I'm pretty sure that occurred
      prior to the oldest data on archive.org (2011).  <br>

                  (we added the "lists." part to the previous address)
                  in all future emails.  I may be able to get the old
                  address to forward over to the new, but it'll be best
                  if you just use the new address. <br class="">
                </p>
                <p class="">We were offline for a while in the fall due
                  to software issues, and I'll be forwarding the two
                  emails the list received during our downtime to the
                  list as soon as I'm done with this one.  <br class="">

                <p class="">2) I now have time to put together something

                  meeting.  We can use Zoom or GoToMeeting - I'm open to
                  suggestions - and talk about what is going on in the
                  world of Straw, Earth, and Sustainable Building.  </p>
                <p class="">The idea would be to have quarterly or
                  monthly video meetups, record them, and post them to
                  YouTube or similar. <br class="">
                </p>
                <p class="">The first one would probably just be a
                  round-table type free for all, but later ones could
                  center on a particular topic or a presentation by one
                  of our esteemed contributors.  <br class="">
                </p>
                <p class="">I'm thinking that the first meeting could be
                  sometime in February. Let's discuss dates and times
                  and, if anyone is particularly familiar with various
                  technologies, that too.  <br class="">
