Help with funding the koha-community.org webserver
Hi all, I've been funding the koha-community web server for about 5 years now, and I've been happy to have the disposable income available to me to do that personally. As it turns out, this year I don't really have that and I could really use some help paying for it. The server is paid for yearly, this year it was $308 NZD It's all paid up until June of next year. If you'd be interested in tossing a few dollars my way to support running the website, I'd be really grateful. I think it would be better to have a community funded server anyway. I'm happy to keep looking after the server and website too. I don't have a plan currently for how best to receive the funds - ideas welcome on this front as well. Thanks for your consideration, Cheers, Liz

Liz, I would be happy to chip in if you come up with an easy way to pay. Perhaps you could set up a PayPal account? Best Regards, Chris Brown On Tue, Jun 5, 2018 at 10:21 PM, Liz Rea <wizzyrea@gmail.com> wrote:

Kia ora tātou Yay, so great to see how fast this was funded! Just a bit of background. After what happened in 2009 when we had a company in control of lots of our infrastructure, we decided to never let that happen again. Hence Liz running the www.koha-community.org site (rather than say Catalyst doing it). We shared out most of the sites, like git and bugs etc so that they are distributed and hard to capture :) A list is here https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Website_Administration (So just to allay peoples concerns, it was a conscious community decision to share the infrastructure around ) Chris On 06/06/18 21:08, Liz Rea wrote:

Further to that, I do mostly keep the work on the website separate from the work I do for Catalyst. That excepts the occasional urgent apt or wordpress upgrade that has to happen during working hours, or urgent help requests from members of the community in relation to working with the website. I'll try to figure out a way to make a nice "cost sheet" for the ko-fi, I've added the most recent invoice from Linode so far. Sorry, I know PayPal sucks but I like the model for ko-fi better than patreon or direct transfers - much better for one-offs or little funding drives and easy to keep transparent. Don't get me wrong, if you want to send a direct transfer I'll try to facilitate your contribution as best I can. :) That said, the server is paid for this year, and for next year (and a little on top)! Well done team (thanks again so very much)! I'll hang on to the money you've sent and spend it next year when I get the next invoice. Also a hazard notice: Linode is upgrading your server ('cause hey, you paid for it!) by migrating it to a new virtualhost with MOAR DISK and MOAR RAM, they expect a ~20 minute downtime while they do this. That will happen sometime today, don't panic (rather, let me do the panicking for you). Kia ora rawa atu, Liz Rea On 07/06/18 08:26, Chris Cormack wrote:
