Dave Kowis sent this to the SM-Discuss mailing list today. I thought I would post it here as is, because he explains the situation well.

It’s that time again! Time to help support the distribution with something tangible. We all greatly appreciate the development work you’ve done, whether it’s filing bugs, coding sorcery, or keeping up with your favorite packages. But now we also need your money ;)

Our Project Lead, Jeremy Blosser, is changing jobs (going to a better one, YAY!) around this time, so it’s extremely important that we raise funds to help offset the costs of hosting the server. Those costs amount to approximately $1000 a year. I’ve set our Fundable goal to $860. The $60 is to cover the Fundable’s 7% that they charge. If we can raise more (I’d like to see the full $1000 in there) that’d be even better!

Spread the word! If you know someone that uses Source Mage and likes it, see if you can get them to give just $10. That’s $10 closer than we would be otherwise. Put it this way: $10 for the best Linux distribution ever, that’s a pretty good deal ;) It’s easy, PayPal or Credit Cards are accepted.
