SN Funding Secure

from the thanks-guys dept.

So, just a follow up. According to matt, we got around $2,000 USD right now in the PBC overnight, and there are still more payments processing. I paid the Linode bill this morning. So, funding problem: solved. We should be set for the foreseeable future as far as money goes!

Seriously guys, you stepped up, and I am thankful. Since I'm here, a quick update on what's going on: Right now, we're mostly just waiting for paperwork to go through as far as handing the site to a newly-created, not-for-profit. It's slow work and I'm not directly involved, but I've seen that there has been a fair number of articles on the subject so I'm pretty happy that everyone is aware of what's going on.

I could write more, but I think I'm going to keep this short and sweet for now. Once I have a final total, I'll post it.

    It is actually still 'visible' if you look at the site with the 'links' browser, but 'somewhat' out of date.

    I remember that now. I liked the thermometer. I don't have a lot of money but when it is obvious a little from me would go a long way toward a goal I would make an extra effort to contribute.
