[UCIMC-Tech] Re: [IMC-Finance] server "illich" is dead & $25, 000 Global Indymedia Donation.

[Sascha Meinrath]

Hi everyone,

I'm happy to announce that a long-time Indymedia supporter has donated $25,000
to replenish our global funds.  Shoring up our technical infrastructure might be
a good place to spend some of this funding.
