   8 <p>repo.or.cz is sponsored by the people who run it. As the one who started
   9 out paying 100% of the costs when we migrated away from externally sponsored
  10 internet connectivity (though more members of the admin team joined in within
  11 days), please allow me to explain why.</p>

  13 <p>I find aggressive donation drives really annoying. I don't want to expose
  14 people to more of them unless there really is no other option. I can afford to
  15 keep repo.or.cz running and I don't need anything in return. I don't think
  16 repo.or.cz should need to care about costs, nor should it make any profit.</p>
  17
  18 <p>I will split costs with people who feel the same way. All people who are
  19 covering part of the cost will be listed here. It will be a small list because
  20 coordinating with more than a few people is tedious.</p>
  21
  22 <p>If you want to thank us for running repo.or.cz, please do it by paying it
  23 forward: do something nice for someone else. All details are up to you.</p>
