<div dir="auto"><div>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.

<br>
I apologize for the delayed response.<br>
<br>
My supervisor and I spoke, and we're able to offer you an AX160-NVMe at<br>
a 90% discount for a period of one year. We'll ask you to cover the<br>
remaining 10%, and when that year approaches an end, you can re-apply<br>
for sponsoring by writing to us again at <a href="mailto:marketing@hetzner.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">marketing@hetzner.com</a><br>
<br>
If it's possible, we'd appreciate you mentioning us in some way on<br>
social media, even if it's just a quick "thank you". I saw that somone<br>
from ArchLinux is active here:<br>
<a href="https://twitter.com/archlinux?lang=en" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/archlinux?lang=en</a><br>
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/archlinuxpage/" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/archlinuxpage/</a><br>
<br>
Would that be a fair trade-off for you?<br>
<br>
Looking forward to your answer!<br>
Katie<br>
