The OpenDev Collaboratory relies on resources donated by providers
of OpenStack public clouds around the World, and is run as a
volunteer sysadmin collective with many folks' time funded pro bono
by companies heavily invested in the success of free/libre open
source software, as well as nonprofit foundation staff like me. The
idea is that organizations providing servers and sysadmins are
helping to maintain the viability of the software developer and user
communities on whom they rely for their own products. Sometimes
called a "virtuous circle," but really it just makes sense if
they're considering the long-term viability of their own businesses.
