[Noisebridge-discuss] Financing

[Sai Emrys]

Another option:

Does NB have any sufficiently well-off supporters that it could get an
'angel' loan, or a couple to cover the total cost?

I suspect such people would give easier terms than a bank would. OTOH,
establishing a credit history (and accounts, etc) would probably be
useful for NB's long-term organizational health.


BTW, this reminds me: DreamHost will give you free hosting if you fax
'em your IRS tax exemption letter. It's not perfect (no root, shared
server), but it is pretty decent. You can also part out subdomains to
members or NB-related projects or the like, also w/ free hosting.
(This is what my nonprofit does.)

It's not appropriate for running something big, requiring daemons, or
RAM/processor-intensive, but for a wiki, photo sharing site, or the
like, it's perfectly adequate.
