I am really glad the adopt a dev thing got brought up. If we can't get |
17 |
people to contribute, donate, or sponsor hardware like an ethernet card |
18 |
or other minor things on that list. I fail to see how we are going to |
19 |
get sponsors to pony up large sums of money. Like monthly for infra |
20 |
services. |

Perfect example of reality != ideals |

Reallying 100% on sponsors is ideal. But in reality, we will always fall |
25 |
short. We will always have less than we need, much less what we want. |

Most the stuff on the list above is minor. Off hand I bet the foundation |
28 |
could kill that list with $10k a most. So where are all these readily |
29 |
available and easy to find sponsors? Why is that list not empty, and how |
30 |
long have the items on there been there? |
