Donations needed to continue Optware packages service

[bzhou]

Hello all Optware users,

If you use Optware packages from nslu2-linux.org, please help us keep them coming as we are running out of disk space.

Over the years, the nslu2-linux.org group has been developing Optware packages for well over 20 NAS/router devices. As we enable more and more Optware packages and feeds, the disk and bandwidth usage for hosting, autobuilder, and testing server keeps climbing. Right now, >80% of nslu2-linux.org access are for Optware feeds. And the disk on autobuilder is approaching 90% capacity.

We ask your help with your generous donation to nslu2-linux.org http://nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Main/Donate. We are targeting US$1000 total in this donation drive. This is to cover the immediate purchase of 5 1.5 TB hard disks to be used in a RAID5 plus hotspare configuration, and also for other expenses such as domain fees, hosting costs. So far all nslu2-linux.org infrastructure has been paid for by previous donations from the nslu2 and nas-central community. Previous donation and spending can be seen at http://nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Info/DonationList .

Thank you very much,

Brian Zhou (Optware feed manager)
On behalf of the nslu2-linux.org team
