As in my previous post, I offered to donate $100. And I have made the donation a few hours ago. I am not sure whether this effort will keep the LWN live. Even it fails, I hope my donation show my appriations to all the stuff at LWN.

Thanks, and I've joined you. So that's $200 total
so far. We could do this if enough people care.

The $50 from me are, if not anything else, a way to say thanks for the kernel section every thursday. It's been nothing short of great reading every time and the reason to get up early every thursday.

Jon, please continue to write about the linux kernel. There is nobody else else around that combines writing skills and kernel knowledge like you.

Hope I see your writing soon somewhere one the internet.

Okay, you get it. I've followed, perhaps as a way to express "thanks so much for all these years", and also "I really want you guys to continue your good work".

Time to put your money where your mouth is, people!

I've just donated and registered. I tried to donate enough to make a difference (ie > $100).

I'd like to echo some views already stated on this page.

1) Please provide a regularly updated web-based indicator of how much cash that LWN needs and how far it has gone in meeting the target.

2) Please find a way to keep going. Hopefully the news of the forthcoming demise might bring some overdue donors out of the woodwork like myself.

3) Thank you for years of sterling service, and I hope for several more years.

4) I have a hard time imagining Thursdays without LWN, and quite frankly don't wish to experience it!

And another thing

Matched, and I agree, if it isn't enough, it's a thank-you.
