[Noisebridge-discuss] server donation to local nonprofit 501c3 corporation

Thu Oct 21 21:16:56 UTC 2010

solution would be pretty rad to set up and I'd be willing to work with
whoever else is interested in implementing something like this, as it's been
in the back of my head for several years now.
