   This project changed my life.

   Since hearing that "somebody named RMS" was going to "change the world by giving away an operating system", I've dreamed of making a lasting, meaningful contribution to the world through my contributions to FOSS. Thomas Markey, and the rest of the team, in creating FOSSHOST, have inspired me to focus my adult life around making that goal tactical.

   Fosshost can provides all of the tools a person needs to make this goal their own.

   I'm proud to support this project as a volunteer and of my employer for recognizing FOSSHOST along with FSF and SPI as important targets for our charitable giving via a recent email blast to employees.

   👍 Pros:    Diversity as a key orginizing principle|Free to use|Approachable via mentorship and flexability

   👎 Cons:    Foss only service provider

   Amazing

   My software repository for Arch and Arch-based Linux distributions is hosted at Fosshost for almost a year. So far, the experience has been superb. The performance of the Virtual Machine is really really good, the community is super friendly, and they are there to help if any issue arises.

   👍 Pros:    High performance|Great customer support|Fast support|Community|Open-source
