> Our hosting provider, the California Community Colo Project or CCCP is
> a non profit org that operates the space where the box containing
> penlug.org is located.  You can read about them at
> http://www.communitycolo.net/ if you haven't heard of them.
>
> The organization is in crisis.  Due to a shortage of funding and
> volunteers there is a very real danger that it could collapse.
> Tonight at 7pm in Hillsborough there is an emergency meeting to try to
> get it back on an even keel.  I'm attending that, and if you would
> like to attend also, email me and I will send the directions.
>
> If you are interested in volunteering to help run things, I think the
> main thing that is needed is administrative help - bookkeeping (which
> isn't easy for a 501(c)(3) nonprofit) being one of the primary issues.
>  There may also be need for some technical help (networking, etc.)
>
> If you would like to help financially that would also be welcome.
>
> Let me know what extent, if any, you are able and willing to help.  If
> you cannot attend the meeting tonight, I will be happy to relay
> anything you would like to say, and/or get you on any appropriate
> mailing lists.
>
> Thanks!
