Well, who actually is writing the checks or providing a credit card number
Hey, this is germany. No Credit Cards, no Checks. Hetzner is authorized to directly grab the money from Squeak-ev's bankaccount. Like direct deposit, just the inverse.
I stand corrrected. ;)
is either someone with ESUG or perhaps Squeak eV. I can't seem to keep the details in mind. But, barring some expenses I'm not aware of, the Squeak community should have been able to provide sufficient funding. IIRC the GSOC project from last year netted the fund $2000-$2500 dollars not counting purchases of badges and other donations. And we should get the same from GSOC this year.
Yes, in addtion there was a "starting grant" from esug of ca. $3000, if I remember correctly.
There should be quite some money on the bank.
I've just had it from Giovanni that in fact he still has the funds from last year. He understands that at some point he is to write a check to Noury but is just waiting to take care of it in one step after receiving the funding from Google for this year. But that does open the door to questions of how well the account being used to fund the server is currently doing. Of course if it started with $3000, and our costs are only around $500 per year, then I don't guess we have much to worry about yet.

Who actually pays for the server right now? Is this Squeak Germany even now? Does anyone know when they will run out of cash?
