Thanks.  Yeah, it's a little corporation I do stuff with, which I've
done some consulting through before.

They're the first people to bite and donate $50 via PayPal to the
California Community Colocation Project (CCCP) to sponsor December.  I
thought I'd drop a blurb into the announcement to say thanks, and,
because I want to encourage more people to sponsor the site for a month.

The CCCP is a non-profit organization here in California that offers
colocation of servers to non-profits, however in return, they request at
least a $50 colocation per month to cover their costs.  They're a
charity themselves, so they can't actually charge for services.

See:

I'd love to get some more sponsors for the upcoming months to help
spread the cost around.  It will be nice having the server on the fast
pipe when the project gets even more popular.  :-)

As you can see, we're starting to suck up more bandwidth over time. 
Definitely a lot more than when I had to temporarily put my server on my
DSL line last summer:

I much prefer having our own server vs. using a service such as
SourceForge or Savannah, as eventually I want to most, or maybe all, of
the projects services running on Kaffe.  :-)

Cheers,
