   7 <h2>We are 100% funded</h2>
   8
   9 <p style="margin: 1em 0em 2em; padding: 1ex 3ex; background-color: #cdf;">
  10 This is historical information. We're not asking you for money anymore. Thanks
  11 for your interest, though!</p>
  12
  13 <p>Operation is currently sponsored by the repo.or.cz admin team, and for
  14 tax reasons we want to avoid accidentally generating profit from donations.
  15 Since enforcing a ceiling on donations is tedious, it's really much simpler
  16 if we do not accept any donations in the first place. If you feel really
  17 strongly about supporting us, or even wish to fully sponsor our operation
  18 (and don't expect much more substantial advertisement in return),
  19 <a href="mailto:admin@repo.or.cz">contact us</a> and we'll figure something
  20 out that makes it easy to handle.</p>

  24 <h2>New Hardware Donations Pledge</h2>
  25
  26 <div style="margin-left: auto, margin-right: auto">
  27 <p><strong>Pledge start:</strong> 2010-01-13 23:00 UTC</p>
  28 <p><strong>Pledge status:</strong> [2010-01-14 11:00 UTC] $2381/$1600.</p>
  29 <p><strong>Pledge end:</strong> 2010-01-14 11:00 UTC</p>
  30 </div>
  31
  32 <p><strong>Pledge details:</strong> This was a huge success! I am absolutely
  33 overwhelmed by your support, and deeply appreciate it. While I was asleep,
  34 we ended up with +$772 extra balance; I created a special section at the end
  35 of the page for this "repo.or.cz fund".</p>
  36
  37 <p>What was this all about? UPC cannot donate repo.or.cz hardware and
  38 connectivity anymore, so we arranged for connectivity sponsorship from
  39 <a href="http://www.mff.cuni.cz/">Charles University, Prague</a> - the <a
  40         href="http://www.ces.net/">connectivity</a> should be equally good as
  41 at UPC, even better on university backbones over the world. However, we had
  42 to buy our own hardware, and there is where your donations came in! They
  43 managed to cover the full cost of the already bought hardware plus left
  44 enough extra money for some hardware upgrades.</p>
  45
  46 <!--
  47 <p><strong>Pledge details:</strong>
  48 Unfortunately, Czech UPC terminated the
  49 sponsorship of the repo.or.cz Git hosting service hardware and connectivity
  50 on a fairly short notice (after generously donating it for several years).</p>
  51
  52 <p>We have secured at least provisional hosting at the <a
  53         href="http://www.mff.cuni.cz/">Charles University, Prague</a> - the <a
  54         href="http://www.ces.net/">connectivity</a> should be equally good as
  55 at UPC, even better on university backbones over the world. However, we will
  56 have to buy new rack server for the hosting service from my
  57 own pocket and this is where we need your help - we can't afford to
  58 sponsor the full price of the server, and reasonably powerful rack hardware
  59 ain't too cheap (repo.or.cz _is_ quite a workload!).</p>
  60
  61 <p>Thus, we would like to ask you for donations for the new hardware - the full
  62 cost is $1400 (CZK 24000); we would like to gather more in order to be able to
  63 buy a RAID0 pair disk and more RAM. Any extra money would all go to
  64 repo.or.cz-related costs, most likely hardware upgrades in the future.</p>
  65
  66 <p>Please send any donations using the button above; they will go to
  67 pasky@ucw.cz paypal account clearly labeled as repo.or.cz donations.
  68 If you would like to do a bank transfer, please send the money to
  69 <code>IBAN: CZ39 0800 0000 0015 7768 9003</code>, <code>BIC: GIBACZPX</code>
  70 with message "repo.or.cz" and also send me a mail with the amount you sent
  71 so that I can update the pledge status balance timely.
  72 If you would like to donate in another way, please send us a mail;
  73 note that we were forced to act on very short notice and already ordered
  74 the hardware so we appreciate, but cannot accept hardware donations.</p>
  75
  76 <p>Please consider donating if you found repo.or.cz useful to you;
  77 if I would receive a dollar from each user or from each project, it would
  78 pay the cost several times, but that's not likely ;-) - so every donation
  79 counts, however small it is!</p>

  98
  99 <p><strong>Pledge details:</strong>
 100 Unfortunately, the current admin (Petr Baudis) can't spend nearly as much time on
 101 repo.or.cz maintenance and enhancements as it would deserve. Thus, he's seeking
 102 for volunteers to help with both day-to-day maintenance and development. You
 103 will be richly credited and eternal glory in the Git community awaits you,
 104 plus it will surely make a great CV bullet-point! :) We are sure really cool
 105 things could be done by developers with fresh ideas, especially after
 106 the hardware upgrade. <a href="volunteers.html">(more details)</a></p>

 128 donation is appreciated, but we will not have an immediate use for it;
 129 we will let our users know in case we would badly need some extra money.
 130 The current [2010-01-14] repo.or.cz fund balance is <strong>$781</strong>,
 131 we will use the money in case of hardware emergency or need to upgrade,
 132 or for other strictly repo.or.cz-related expenses.</p>
