+Hi.
+This is very sad news for me. I rely on Obnam for my backup. Although I
+already know which alternative I'll use (zbackup), I actually think Obnam
+could live on in a form of a fork. I wonder if anyone is willing to
+maintain a fork. I don't dare to stup up in such role, my coding knowledge
+is not enough to do that. Will you pull the code from your site as well?
+Because if you will, we would like to transfer the code base to github or
+the like.
+Having all said that, I also want to express my gratitude and THANK YOU for
+Obnam!
+
