Dear readers,
As some of you may have already known, Todd Lehman and I recently decided to
limit our involvement in LUGNET to the end of this Fall. We both will always
love LUGNET and feel great pride in what its users have grown it into, but we
have fresh endeavors to pursue now. Mine, incidentally, will continue to keep me
busy within the AFOL Community where my heart lies.
I’ve worked hard for the past few months on finding the best person, or people,
to adopt the project. I feel extremely fortunate and pleased to announce that
LUGNET will live on and prosper in the very capable hands of René Hoffmeister.
For those of you who don’t recognize that name, René is a long-time AFOL (and
LUGNET member number 293!) who
founded 1000steine.de - the successful web-based
community for German adult LEGO enthusiasts - back in 1999, around the same time
of LUGNET’s birth. He is fluent in English; is a proud Dad; and possesses a
natural knack for organizing groups of volunteers.
These days, he devotes full time to planning LEGO-related events, fostering his
community’s healthy relationship with The LEGO Group, and maintaining his own
servers which host 1000steine and provide others in our greater community with
free webspace and bandwidth.
I can not stress enough, the value of his unwavering dedication to furthering
the hobby and his selflessly working toward an ideal vision for the adult
LEGO-using community. The LUGNET membership and its other users will be in truly
in good hands. I’ve always had tremendous respect for René. He has my complete
confidence for moving us forward.
Over the next few months, Todd and I will be sorting out details. For now, let’s
all give a big cheer for René and proceed to celebrate his new role in our
community! This is truly great news, and it marks a new age of positive
potential for us.
So, “Yea yeay, René! Welcome, and thank you.”
Sincerely,
Suzanne Rich Green and Todd Lehman
co-founders of LUGNET
