repo.or.cz runs on a four-way Xeon 2GHz with 4G RAM and 256G disk array -that also serves as a PoP for the XS26 -IPv6 tunnel broker. -The server and connectivity is generously sponsored by -UPC Czech Republic.
+repo.or.cz is the brain child of Petr Baudis +who also ran it all by himself for many years. -
Petr Baudis runs the site. -Virtually all the infrastructure is available +
repo.or.cz runs on a Hetzner Cloud VPS with redundant block storage for +the repositories. The server and connectivity is sponsored by (part of) the +repo.or.cz admin team (details). + +
Virtually all the infrastructure is available in git repositories girocco.git and girocco-gitweb.git and is licenced under GPLv2. -repo.or.cz/Girocco development is sponsored by SUSE / Novell Inc. -and Novartis Pharma, AG.
+Initial development of repo.or.cz/Girocco development was sponsored by +SUSE / Novell Inc. and Novartis Pharma AG.
+ +We are volunteer-run no-income service, and sometimes, we need your help!
++This is historical information. We're not asking you for money anymore. Thanks +for your interest, though!
+ +Operation is currently sponsored by the repo.or.cz admin team, and for +tax reasons we want to avoid accidentally generating profit from donations. +Since enforcing a ceiling on donations is tedious, it's really much simpler +if we do not accept any donations in the first place. If you feel really +strongly about supporting us, or even wish to fully sponsor our operation +(and don't expect much more substantial advertisement in return), +contact us and we'll figure something +out that makes it easy to handle.
+ +Historical info starts below.
repo.or.cz is sponsored by the people who run it. As the one who started +out paying 100% of the costs when we migrated away from externally sponsored +internet connectivity (though more members of the admin team joined in within +days), please allow me to explain why. + +
I find aggressive donation drives really annoying. I don't want to expose +people to more of them unless there really is no other option. I can afford to +keep repo.or.cz running and I don't need anything in return. I don't think +repo.or.cz should need to care about costs, nor should it make any profit. + +
I will split costs with people who feel the same way. All people who are +covering part of the cost will be listed here. It will be a small list because +coordinating with more than a few people is tedious. + +
If you want to thank us for running repo.or.cz, please do it by paying it +forward: do something nice for someone else. All details are up to you. + +

on IRC)repo.or.cz is not currently looking for volunteers who would like to help running and developing the site (we had too much feedback!) We are -currently in the process of setting up the first collectively run admin team to -replace Petr Baudis as the sole site maintainer and developer.
+At this time we are not actively looking for extra volunteers.
