In reference to "Keeping the lights on", I would be willing to kick in some bucks.  I live in Perth, an hour west of Ottawa, and am glad not to have to drive in to attend meetings.  The savings in gas/parking and convenience are worth it for me.  Many moons ago I would drive home from work (in Kanata) have dinner with the family then drive back in (Centrepoint)  attend a meeting then drive home again.

After a long hiatus, re-joining the group was very nice. Different people, but still going.  I would not want to see it end for lack of a few dollars to support the bare minimum of supporting infrastructure.

I pledge $60, about the cost a tank of gas, which I don't have to spend getting to meetings :-)

Cheers, Ian M.

Yes, according tohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linode

The linode.com web site is now branded "Akamai"

Thanks Dianne.

The promo codes have been offered under the Linode brand as recently as the last LNL podcast episode (also on the Linux After Dark, Linux Downtime, and Self Hosted podcasts), so that seems to be continuing.


Another couple of surprises:

That it happened so long ago and I didn't hear about it, and that it sold for "only" $900,000,000.
