The Boulder Community Network is seeking
donations to buy a new $3,000 web server to replace its 10-year old
hardware. The first $1,000 in
contributions will be matched 200% thru the generosity of Paul von Behren and
Sun Microsystems. The new server
will give us lots more memory, disk space and processing
power to serve the 150 community web sites that BCN hosts. The deadline for the matching gift offer is
March 31st 2006. Please send checks, made out to "Boulder
Community Network", to Boulder Community Network C/O Jack Zeller 1007 Artemis Circle Lafayette, CO 80026 At the same time, we're delighted to announce
a move to Indra's Net (http://indra.com), who
is offering us free co-location services and bandwidth for our new server. Indra's Net, a locally-owned and
operated ISP for over 10 years, recognizes the importance of BCN and is proud
to support this new chapter in its existence. BCN is very grateful to the University of
Colorado for 12 years of outstanding support from Information Technology
Services, the Journalism School, and the many wonderful people we've worked
with there over the years. About the Boulder Community Network – www.BoulderCommunity.Net The Boulder Community Network is about
"Technology Serving Community". Since 1993 we have pioneered a new way, the
World Wide Web, to directly serve members of the public with detailed
information and services from agencies and organizations in Boulder County. We currently host 150 local web sites. And in a world where technology has become
the focus, BCN also provides an often missing key ingredient: the people. BCN's volunteers help non profit
agencies redesign the way they do business. We are very efficient with your money. Consider how a one-time $50 donation
would help us serve the community.
First it would be matched twice, providing a total of $150: 5% of the server
cost. The server it helps fund
would function for years to come.
Each year, your 5% of the server would support 7 non-profit web sites,
and help over 10,000 people each view 10 pages of information about the
environment, local news, community organizations, and much more. Boulder Community Network is a 501(c)(3)
not-for-profit organization so donations are tax-deductible to the extent
allowed by law. Neal McBurnett Chair, Boulder Community Network Board of
