Thanks so much for your guidance and excitement. It is great seeing
the non-profit organizations working together so well. That is
especially important for a free software hosting project like
Sourceware because we host both little and big projects. Some with
their own fiscal sponsor, some without any funding at all. Being able
to share non-profit organisation resources and services is a great
thing to look forward to.

Thanks,

Mark
