Hi all!

In light of the shocking news of Couchsurfing accepting a $7.6 million
investment and becoming a for-profit company, HC founder Veit wrote a
statement that the Hospitality Club will never be a for-profit business, and
that we are currently developing an open-source website for HC. See the
statement here:

Greetings,

Tilman
