HP Donates $10000 Server

HP Donates $10000 Server To webOS Homebrew Community

"There was a piece of news that didn't happen to get mentioned at last night's developer event. HP has made a donation to a charity on behalf of the WebOS Internals homebrew group that is valued at over $10,000. A few weeks ago, it became clear that future growth in webOS would outpace the server infrastructure that WebOS Internals currently has in place. They were going to need some beefy hardware to keep up with the demands of acting as the a central repository for webOS homebrew apps, patches, and kernels. So they asked HP's Phil McKinney, who has arranged to donate an HP Proliant DL385 2u server with 32 gigs of RAM and 8 terabytes of disk space. They made the decision a few weeks ago and the server is en route." Very welcome news. Like Palm before it, HP gets it.

Maybe get in touch with them and let them know what kind of important service you provide :!: Keeping all of us juvenile delinquents occupied at home, off the streets and thereby eliminating 20,000 elements of chaos and destruction :!: :idea: :thumbup:
