"I need to ask the Blastwave and OpenSolaris communities for your help. Despite my best efforts at gathering corporate sponsorship, Blastwave is once again in a financial crisis. We are due to be evicted from the datacenter in three days, and there is little that I can do personally to stop this." You can help out by donating, and while doing that you can also participate in this survey set up to estimate the size of the Blastwave community.

Member since:I've built some packages for Blastwave and the main reason for the datacenter prescence is to have central development systems. That have 3 (I think) main systems. One is the frontend box, one Solaris SPARC dev box, and one Solaris x86 dev box. Package maintainers are required to make packages on each platform. They are then moved to the web server system.

Why does a little site need a datacenter presence - I can get my friends at 25 different ISPs to give me a little space.
Especially if I give them something, like a banner ad?
This seems a little fishy to me - like take the donations and run kind of fishy.
