im just realize maemo is migrating away from nokia, which is a very nice surprise, but also concerning, mantaining an infrastructure like thise requires a lot of work.

Im a sysadmin, been using debian-based OS's last 9 years, i can help for whatever you need.

What im viewing is you are trying to concentrate everything in a big badass server, for the repository i dont think is the best idea, you would like to get as much servers as posible with multiples Providers (cheap ones) with a lot of BW, (for example server4you) gives unlimited traffic, and they are cheap, a server from them for only APT repository would be great. then just do a DNS round robin over repository.maemo.org


Also, have you tried to get donors for mirrors? sourceforge and iWeb.ca are very well know for their support to FOSS community, they have debian mirrrors servers and a lot of other stuff.

Hope we can mantain maemo for a long time.

Thanks for all your efforts.

Regards

Ok, I've donated $20. But also maybe it's a good idea that you publish some figures. It's hard to believe that this infrastructure should cost several thousand $$$ per month. At the moment we have only a vBulletin system (all other still down). Other sites have these for free.

My finances are completely out of wack these days/months but rest assured if i have just a little bit extra in about a weeks time i will be donating, and if things gets just a little bit stable i will set up monthly donations.

Respected Sir,
Why don't we Maemo go and try to get sponsorship from Android google corporation. They may help us because maemo and android have same software platform of Linux.

You might do adf.ly links as a form of donation (even beside the normal ones). Every time someone goes thru that link to a target page you get a couple of cents. If a user uses it every day, and counting the number of maemo.org users, it might give a nice sum :)

Can we get some sort of general indication as to how well donations are doing?

Looks like that hasn't been updated since 1/21/13. I made a donation on 1/26/13 that's not there (and another today).

There is currently a small issue going on with the bank and PayPal. I'm working with them on it now and am hopeful it will be resolved soon.
