Hi Sven-Hendrik,

I apologize for the delayed response.

My supervisor and I spoke, and we're able to offer you an AX160-NVMe at
a 90% discount for a period of one year. We'll ask you to cover the
remaining 10%, and when that year approaches an end, you can re-apply
for sponsoring by writing to us again at marketing@hetzner.com

If it's possible, we'd appreciate you mentioning us in some way on
social media, even if it's just a quick "thank you". I saw that somone
from ArchLinux is active here:
https://twitter.com/archlinux?lang=en
https://www.facebook.com/archlinuxpage/

Would that be a fair trade-off for you?

Looking forward to your answer!
Katie
