Use Digital Ocean promos for open source projects

[johnnyman727]

Currently, we're getting charged ~$90/mo to use Digital Ocean for our website and forums. Our contacts at the jQuery Foundation has offered to help us get free droplet use because we're an open source project so we should cash that in. We'll just need someone to get in touch with someone at jQuery. @aulvi perhaps?

Hi there! I'm an engineer at DigitalOcean, and while someone at the jQuery Foundation may be able to help, you can also initiate conversations more directly by sending an email to opensource@digitalocean.com with information about what you're seeking, etc.

Mentioning connection to the jQuery Foundation would likely help, though DO is typically happy to sponsor open source projects regardless of foundation affiliation. Generally the only request is a link somewhere in a "sponsors" type area or some sort of acknowledgement somewhere.

Feel free to CC bsinclair@digitalocean.com on that email, and I'll be keeping an eye on the internal chat where such things are discussed, to help provide our community management with additional context etc.

We're part of the Bocoup foundation now, so we can do it under that
umbrella too.

Hello @johnnyman727!

Placing servers under the Bocoup Foundation account makes the most sense, that is the project's home and you will likely get the best infrastructure support if the Bocoup team has full ownership.

Is this resolved now @reconbot?
