It's so great to hear from you, and thank you so much for reaching out. We are honestly interested in helping get you the things that you need that you just can't get for yourself. Funding is definitely an option, as is hardware. We're open to helping in whatever way we can, short of hiring people or time-space manipulation. :D We are mostly interested in things that directly support Open Build Service. Here are examples of ways we've supported other projects: * Project funding * Equipment loans * Logo redesign * Foundation contributions * Bandwidth + hardware for mirroring What works best for you all?

If possible could you clarify how you would like to assist the openSUSE Project, are you looking at ways of funding financially or ways to contribute hardware or services? The openSUSE Board would like to ensure that cPanel's contribution benefit both openSUSE and cPanel as best as possible and that we as a community rightfully recognise our sponsors. From an infrastructure perspective, there are various ways to assist, whether it's by providing a mirror service, hosted resources or by funding hardware for in-house use. openSUSE has an annual conference (normally in Europe) where sponsorship is always welcome, and in addition we also have smaller events in Asia as well as participating in events like SCALE and LFNW in the US where funding assistance is also welcome. Another possibility is to sponsor a specific sprint on technology that benefits both entities. If you could assist us with better understanding where and how you would like to sponsor that would help us in gratefully accepting your offer.
