Figure out what to do with fsharp.net

[bbatsov]

I've noticed a Discord chat about the legacy site fsharp.net. Seems it hasn't be updated in ages and it might be nice to just redirect it to fsharp.org if possible.

According to https://download.fsharp.net/f-presentation-at-czech-net-group-meeting.html - the owner of the site is Tomáš Petříček. Does someone here know him to discuss the topic with him?

P.S. I'll also feel lucky and mention here @tpetricek. :-)

@bbatsov I've also sent a message to Tomas.

You and @IanWitham might like to also join the core team at Amplifying F#, who I can highly recommend https://amplifyingfsharp.io/. They're really a lot of fun with so many good ideas about growing the community.

There's also "F# Online" which is a set of social media feeds. I help run those with a few others. Any social media outreach is very welcome.

I'm afraid I don't own the domain - and I think I never did. The linked post is copied from my blog (https://tomasp.net/blog/fsharp-presentation.aspx/) - but it seems the site mixes copied actual posts with random spam.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll check what joining AF# might look like. Always happy to do work popularizing code I love! :-)

@tpetricek Got it! I guess the mention of you in first person is what confused me. Probably this was some legit site a long time ago that got taken over by malicious actors. It's a pity, as both fsharp.net and fsharp.com are prominent domains that the F# community doesn't currently own.

fsharp.org is getting more beautiful every day!

Regarding AF#, I'd say it definitely needs a more prominent presence at the web. Not that I know how to do that :)
But among other things, AF# do a series of F# related sessions (a few of them every week!), they are awesome and deserve a big mention.
