Yesterday was another great day for MusicBrainz! We had an anonymous benefactor donate a spiffy Athlon based 1U server with 2GB ram and RAID-1 SCSI drives. Three cheers to anonymous donors!
Also, Matthew Mullenweg donated a cool $1000 to the MetaBrainz Foundation. Its not everyday that someone drops such a large donation on this project. (Hasn’t happened since Derek Sivers did it last year!)
Thank you very much, Matthew and Anonymous Donor!

That’s great! Perhaps http://metabrainz.org/donate/sponsors.html needs to be updated (Derek Sivers’s grand isn’t listed there, either, nor Giacomo Biondi Morra’s $1500). Although perhaps just a link to the “Highest Donors” page (http://metabrainz.org/finances/hi_donors.html), which is automatically maintained, would be better? I think anyone with a four-figure donation should get a special call-out on the Sponsors page, though, even if it can’t easily be automated.
@alex
Correct on all counts — we’ve received help from so many people that we’re drastically behind on updating all this. I will take care of this in the next couple of weeks.
That is awesome Robert. I’m glad you got that third server you needed and the extra cash to support the organization.
Best,
David Ulevitch
