nLab funding of the nLab

Overview

The physical existence of the nLab is funded by donations (see below) which are received via a mechanism handled by the Topos Institute, with the kind administrative help of Brendan Fong.

The nLab’s technical board decides about how to use these funds for paying server rent and sysadmin services (see further below).

Available funds

As of 05 May 2022 the funds available to the nLab due to donations are

• 7280.59 USD .

Expenditures

Since then we have spent:

• 3 $\times$ 400 USD

  on payment of a temporary sysadmin.

• 504 EUR

  paying a software company to help with the server migration.

The full expected cost of (at least) $\sim$ 4000 EUR was saved, since the enlarged technical team kindly took care of the necessary server migration themselves.
