Why donate

Donations fund maintaining and improving our infrastructure, including:

Build farm: Guix's functional approach means every package update is built, along with its dependents. This requires a powerful build farm that can keep up with development. The costs scale as the project grows, but it's critical to shipping updates quickly.
Substitute infrastructure: these servers cache the built packages and distribute them to Guix users. Substitutes make Guix faster for everyone and mean we don't all waste resources building packages. The substitute infrastructure needs lots of storage and bandwidth to provide packages to users everywhere.
Development infrastructure: as a distributed team Guix uses development infrastructure including Git hosting, bug tracking, translations and QA. This infrastructure makes it possible for contributors to communicate and collaborate.
Community: a healthy and collaborative community makes Guix fun to be part of. Resources like the Web site help both existing and new users learn about Guix. Developer sprints and events facilitate collaboration, and encourage new people to join the Guix community.
