So what do you guys think about this? I think it's pretty good and we should jump on it. We can't post on Twitter as we don't have access to that. How about instead offering them to put their logo on the site? In case anyone is wondering, the price would be 16.4€ per month. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Katherine Snow Date: Tue, Mar 12, 2019, 21:31 Subject: Re: Fwd: Fwd: [Ticket#2019022503014001] miscellaneous request To: Sven-Hendrik Haase Cc: Christian Fitz - Hetzner Online GmbH 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!

Hi Katherine,

No worries. Thanks for getting back to me.

For the CI service, the faster the better as far as the server CPU performance is concerned. The DX292 would be optimal for our use case. I realize that it's quite expensive and thus if that server is out of the question, the AX160-NVME would be a good second option for us.

The length of usage would be indefinite. The server itself would be used primarily by roughly 30 developers and an automated CI system. We have a bit more than 10000 packages.

We don't know how many end users the distribution has as we don't have any way to track that but we have a few hundred mirrors by volunteers and assuming every mirror has 1000 users, that puts us at a few 100k users. We're usually in the top 10 list of distributions at distrowatch.org http://distrowatch.org.

Thank you for your consideration.

Many regards,

Sven-Hendrik Haase

Hi Sven-Hendrik,

Please accept my sincerest apologies for just now responding to you about this.

Could you please let me know specifically which Hetzner Online product(s) you have in mind for your CI/CD service? Which specific dedicated servers and/or cloud models would you need and for how long? Could you also provide a bit more information about how many projected users you would have?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
