1.3 Hardware donations (What does Parabola need the most?)

Parabola is run by volunteers, and has no formal funding; but Parabola is expensive, so we need to cover some operating expenses. Luckily, the most essential hardware has been gifted directly, so far.

We also need to acquire more new libre-friendly hardware, of which we are unable to buy all which could be supported and recommended. As we can identify, acquire, and support the most libre-friendly computers available, those can be denoted with high-priority support status.

  • Infrastructure
    • Repo server - (☑ 'Winston' - currently donated by 1984)
    • Web server - (☑ 'Newtron' - currently donated by the FSF)
    • Build server - (☑ 'Beefcake' - currently donated by Luke Shumaker)
  • Also (ideally):
    • Paid hacker(s) to work on Parabola full-time
    • A(nother) libre project can become sustainable
