I'm not an insider, so I might get this wrong.

The GTALUG mailing list and web site are hosted on a linode.com machine.
It appears that the service was paid for through Chris Browne.
When he died, it appears that payments stopped and the machine went dark 
(December 17 or perhaps a bit later).

I asked linode if I could pay for the node so that it could be restarted.  
I told them (correctly) that I had no authority.

They have temporarily started the node.  This will last for one billing 
cycle (whatever that is) while they consider what to do.

I appologize for my unauthorized intervention but the mailing list is our 
lifeblood.

Alex is working on a replacement for the linode node.
