-<code><a href="http://www.debian.org/donations">Donations</a></code> of time
-(to develop new packages, maintain existing packages, or provide user support),
-resources (to mirror the FTP and WWW archives), and money (to pay for new
-testbeds as well as hardware for the archives) can help the project.

-<h2><a name="s-contrib"></a>12.1 How can I become a Debian software developer?</h2>
-
-<p>
-The development of Debian is open to all, and new users with the right skills
-and/or the willingness to learn are needed to maintain existing packages which
-have been &quot;orphaned&quot; by their previous maintainers, to develop new
-packages, and to provide user support.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-The description of becoming a Debian developer can be found at the <code><a
-href="http://www.debian.org/devel/join/newmaint">New Maintainer's
-Corner</a></code> at the Debian web site.
-</p>
-
-<hr>
-
-<h2><a name="s-contribresources"></a>12.2 How can I contribute resources to the Debian project?</h2>
-
-<p>
-Since the project aims to make a substantial body of software rapidly and
-easily accessible throughout the globe, mirrors are urgently needed. It is
-desirable but not absolutely necessary to mirror all of the archive. Please
-visit the <code><a href="http://www.debian.org/mirror/size">Debian mirror
-size</a></code> page for information on the disk space requirements.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Most of the mirroring is accomplished entirely automatically by scripts,
-without any interaction. However, the occasional glitch or system change
-occurs which requires human intervention.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-If you have a high-speed connection to the Internet, the resources to mirror
-all or part of the distribution, and are willing to take the time (or find
-someone) who can provide regular maintenance of the system, then please contact
-<code><a
-href="mailto:debian-admin@lists.debian.org">debian-admin@lists.debian.org</a></code>.

-<h2><a name="s-supportingorganizations"></a>12.3 How can I contribute financially to the Debian project?</h2>
-
-<p>
-One can make individual donations to one of two organizations that are critical
-to the development of the Debian project.
-</p>
-
-<hr>
-
-<h3><a name="s-SPI"></a>12.3.1 Software in the Public Interest</h3>
-
-<p>
-Software in the Public Interest (SPI) is an IRS 501(c)(3) non-profit
-organization, formed when FSF withdrew their sponsorship of Debian. The
-purpose of the organization is to develop and distribute free software.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Our goals are very much like those of FSF, and we encourage programmers to use
-the GNU General Public License on their programs. However, we have a slightly
-different focus in that we are building and distributing a Linux system that
-diverges in many technical details from the GNU system planned by FSF. We
-still communicate with FSF, and we cooperate in sending them changes to GNU
-software and in asking our users to donate to FSF and the GNU project.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-SPI can be reached at: <code><a
-href="http://www.spi-inc.org/">http://www.spi-inc.org/</a></code>.

-<h3><a name="s-FSF"></a>12.3.2 Free Software Foundation</h3>
-
-<p>
-At this time there is no formal connection between Debian and the Free Software
-Foundation. However, the Free Software Foundation is responsible for some of
-the most important software components in Debian, including the GNU C compiler,
-GNU Emacs, and much of the C run-time library that is used by all programs on
-the system. FSF pioneered much of what free software is today: they wrote the
-General Public License that is used on much of the Debian software, and they
-invented the &quot;GNU&quot; project to create an entirely free Unix system.
-Debian should be considered a descendent of the GNU system.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-FSF can be reached at: <code><a
-href="http://www.fsf.org/">http://www.fsf.org/</a></code>.
