DuckCorp is built and maintained by volunteers, mostly with their own money. The services are totaly free of charge for all users, but you may wish to contribute to help us keep it working well and improve.

How to Contribute ?

You can help us with:

  • sponsoring: if you can host a machine and/or provide connectivity
  • equipements: see the list of possible improvements below
  • money: you can send us money which will be used in the association:
    • by check (see the duckcorp.org whois for Duck's postal address, or ask him by mail or IRC)
    • by Paypal to duck@duckcorp.org

What can you Contribute ?

Here are ideas on which to contribute:

  • regular expenses
  • [???] buy a new machine, to provide: VMs, more services redondancy, ... (needed hardware not yet evaluated, more on this later)
  • [~120€] add a battery backup unit for Toushirou's 3ware card (for more data security, as datacenters tends to be less and less reliable)
  • [??? (quite expensive)] change Orfeo's backplane to have 4 disks slot instead of 2, and add 2 new disks (in a new RAID 1 array), planned at least 120GB capacity (2.5″ 10000 RPM SAS, like the other ones) (can be bought anywhere, but proprietary braquets needed)
