Re: [P2P-F] Contributing to p2p

sindikat, Some searching brings up plug computers for under $200. You could probably run one of those from home and use dynamic DNS for your own personal data needs. I'm not sure what you would really accomplish by renting a VM which would go away just as soon as your cash runs out. Maybe the large-scale distributed database projects need tons of bandwidth and storage (in which case save yourself the hastle and just donate money), but most peer production does not. The typical open-source developer gets thier internet infrastructure provided for free. I suggest you pick a few specific projects that interest you and spend some time talking to people involved in them to help guide your decision. -Karl
