Regarding how October 1st was chosen, Suzanne says in her blog:

{"... I need to set a deadline. A shutdown clock will initiate shortly.
It's very real and all-encompassing. Everything will be gone from
www.lugnet.com but for a pointer in about twelve weeks (possibly Oct 1,
2005). That's not to say the data won't live on elsewhere; I'm sure it
will. It's just that Todd and I can't be responsible for it any more ..."}

Just to remind, this was a blog entry from about a month ago - not an official
announcement to the LUGNET community.

I am still struggling with the timing. I'm relieved that there has been no
rush of panic!

Here's what I'm thinking at the moment... For my own sanity, it seems
reasonable that a rough course of action be decided upon by Aug 1. That is to
say, I'll have listened to a whole bunch of people by then, asked questions,
looked at data, etc. and should have a plan (which may or may not be the same
one I held in hand when I wrote the blog entry quoted above). A "plan" will
just mean that a clock starts counting down, and we all understand some
guidelines for what sort of good news might stop the clock.

Boy, that went by fast. But it's August first and I am organized. yea!
The "real" announcement is now being written.
