Gentoo Linux is made possible by many community donations and sponsors, together with the enthusiastic work of our developers. Unfortunately, this year several long-running sponsors were unable to continue their prior support, and at the moment we are looking for replacements. Are you or your organization interested in supporting Gentoo via an infrastructure sponsorship? There are many ways to do that, ranging from providing rack space or servers in a data center to donating server hardware; details and typical arrangements are described on a wiki page of the Infrastructure project. Partnerships with organizations aligning with Gentoo’s goals are strongly preferred. We can be reached at infra@gentoo.org. Please help us continue to provide the best source-based Linux distribution ever!
