Hi tor-talk,

As of today I'm the new operator of the directory authority gabelmoo.
Karsten Loesing, who has been operating it since early 2008, decided to
focus more on software development and less on the sysadmin overhead that running a directory authority implies. He handed over all the
necessary keys to me, and his access to the gabelmoo host has been
suspended.

Directory authorities are special Tor relays which are responsible for
generating a list of the currently running relays in the network once
an hour. There are currently 8 directory authorities, operated by Tor
developers and other individuals trusted by the Tor Project. To get a
quick idea of what they are doing, check out the network status health
page[0].

If you have any questions concerning the role of a directory authority
in the Tor network or the operation of gabelmoo, please do not hesitate
to ask.

All the best
Sebastian
