I would like to thank everyone for their generous contributions for CGOS maintenance. A lot more donations came in that I expected and I was very pleasantly surprised.
Dave Dyer agreed to upgrade his server if we could come up with the difference between what he pays now and the next tier of service which gives substantially more disk space that we now have. This difference is currently $180 per year. Paypal takes out about 3% of each donation plus a few cents, but the balance in the paypal account is now enough to pay for more than 1 years worth of upgrades, at the moment it is $257.61. However a very generous contributor who wishes to remain anonymous offered to PAY up front for 2 years worth of upgrades which is $360 so we are all set for at least 3 years. This is in addition to the $257.61 we have received. These and any future donations will be held specifically for the purpose of covering the server costs, whatever form that may take in the future. Again, thank you. - Don On Fri, 2008-08-01 at 11:04 +0100, Oliver Lewis wrote: > Thanks Don, for CGOS to date and for the planned expansion.
