Community News - August 2002

Another month gone, another stack of accomplishments by the evolt.org community. As a reminder, this is open to anyone in the community, so if you missed a chance to toot your horn, add a comment, and watch for the announcement for next month's news.

At the beginning of August we successfully moved all (5) of evolt.org's servers from their old home at Starkmedia to Ron Dorman's facility's CSI. Thanks to everyone that helped in the move and the subsequent setup and testing. Special thanks go to Dan Cody who has setup, hosted, and maintained the servers for so long and who prepared them for the move; to Matt Warden who drove the 900 miles between Milwaukee and Altavista but also the 800 miles from his home to Milwaukee in order to transport the servers; and to Ron Dorman for the current hosting and maintenance of the servers and the large amount of setup that he and Dan went through to get them all in working order. Finally thanks to all of the members that dontated money in order to fund the move. It is very much appreciated.

The second edition of Information Architecture for the World Wide Web is out and features, among other sites, our own evolt.org community. Our own Javier Velasco was listed in the acknowledgements. Congratulations to all that were involved in the project.

Finally, the first of the browser archive has its first mirror site donated by the evolt.org.uk boys.

Help support evolt.org

We're now again able to accept monetary gifts through:

Our address for monetary gifts or giving inquiries is give@evolt.org. We will soon have a snail mail address (for checks, money orders, etc.).

We're looking for other on-line, commercial (in other words, not personal bank account), low-cost money transferring capabilities so that non-US residents may more easily help support evolt.org. Please write us if you know of any good commercial services in your country.

Here's more information on how to help support evolt.org. Thanks for your interest!
