Hey Guix team! It's awesome that you all launch fundraising campaigns!
Here's this for an idea, how about we partner with say guix-hosting.com, https://www.thinkpenguin.com/, purism, olimex (1), MNT reform, raptor computing, and other companies offering services/selling hardware? We could ask that those companies give a a discount to customers using the discount code "guix", and they will donate a portion of their sales to guix. I myself have access to desktop Intel Optiplex 7010 machines with a 2 TB hard drive (or SSDs), and 8 - 32 GB of ram. I'm happy to sell many of those machines running guix system for $400 and donate $50 of the sale to guix for as long as guix has the fundraiser. I also have a Talos II motherboard with used power9 cpus that I will be assembling soon. I'm happy to sell that for about $6,000 and donate $200 to guix. I could sell maybe 10 Talos IIs. Or I could sell some assembled blackbirds for $3,000 and donate $100 to guix. I could sell perhaps 10 of those machines as well (2). 1) https://www.olimex.com/Products/DIY-Laptop/ 2) https://video.hardlimit.com/w/qYa49Z84LTFf7euRRXeoAU
