I'm taking off the other hats I wear for a moment to ask for you or
your company's support of Freenode [1] (technically the Peer-Directed
Projects Center or PDPC) now based in the United Kingdom.
I've considered donating to the Freenode project for years now - but one
thing that always sticks out a bit is why. All the servers for their
network are hosted in gratis locations, managed at the systems level by
people who work in these networks eg. osuosl
beyond a network, freenode needs to do 'nothing' and within that it
needs to pay for 'nothing'. The blog post you url'd about donations
again seems to fall short on what the money will be used for apart for
making a mention of 'supporting the cause' and a '£5k/yr is needed to be
a charity'. I dont really feel like dropping my money into a box so that
freenode can exist as a charity. I'd be happy to pay for the $10/yr ( or
whatever it is ) that is needed to pay for the freenode.net domain though.
also, I wonder what the feeling these days is about such mass
crossposting on the ethical front...
