Re: [tor-relays] 10 Years Torservers.net: Death or Future?

Hi!

Yes, running a non-profit for you is not free (accounting costs, at
least). I think costs are explained well here:

https://docs.opencollective.com/help/about/pricing

You can install Open Collective software on your own server and having
your own fiscal host, and then there are no costs (see the last
example in "Examples" table). So if torservers already has a
non-profit, we could just install as software on our own servers. But
I think the question is: do we have volunteers to step up and do work
so that we can have no or little overhead, or if not, we can use a
cloud service, but it costs us then 10%. I was trying to show an
option for the second approach. But if there are already people
stepping up, feel free to ignore me.

Of course anyone else can host an instance with less platform
overhead. Or you can create an association in Germany and then become
a sponsor for Open Collective projects, but not require any fee,
lowering the overhead to 5% SaaS fee only.
