7Motivated by our call for support in the past year, we saw an overwhelming wave of donations brought together, which made it possible to continue and secure the operation of the free service jabber.ccc.de.

11A sum of € 5,000 was raised after the [call for
12donations](http://web.jabber.ccc.de/?p=13). The majority of the funds
13were used to purchase new hardware (1HE, Intel Core 2 Quad, 8 GByte RAM,
14320 GByte in RAID 1 – along with an UPS).

16jabber.ccc.de currently houses 37,000 active users, with about 50 - 100
17new additional users daily and up to 4,100 users online at any given
18time throughout the day.

20The new server is running under Linux 2.6.18 (64bit of course), speaks
21XMPP with the help of an ejabberd 1.1.4 and has currently got a load of
220.8. This leaves enough room for a growing community.
23
24We are overwhelmed with the willingness of users in participating in the
25support of a free communication infrastructure and are delighted to be
26involved with a community where we can work together to help a project
27such as jabber.ccc.de off the ground.
