"I have reached out to our largest corporate sponsor and they are working to increase their support as we update our contract, but that still may not be enough."
Why wouldn't they name the sponsor? Seems like a great thing some company (presumably Google?[1]) is doing, but they don't get the credit they deserve.

- nl 2y ago"annual contributions of $25,000" I think includes hardware/service contributions (eg the IBM hardware and the bandwidth suppliers). It's a bit unclear though.
- ajdlinux 2y agoGive them the credit after the sponsor actually finalises the updated contract.
