Not only via Gentoo ops, but also by being the second-largest contributor of infrastructure (after gentoo's Infra ;) for devs and non-devs alike. His hardware currently hosts a number of things such as pkgcore.org, dev.gentooexperimental.org (used for various gentoo-related experiments), and soc.gentooexperimental.org (gentoo-soc project management). -- ~Nirbheek Chauhan
