Sponsors
A FOSS project like KaOS really need that some companies and individuals are willing to sponsor through donating mirror space, hardware and other vital infrastructure. On this page you'll find a list of companies and individuals who are making the development of KaOS into something a bit bigger, more public, possible.
A powerful build-server is vital to keep up for a rolling distro. Dezponia, who has a long-standing history of supporting small FOSS projects with exactly that kind of needed hardware, has decided to support KaOS too. No link, just an homage to Dezponia's favorite cartoon.
Vultr is what is used for both KaOS servers and two KaOS maintained mirrors. It is one of the very few VPS providers that offers complete custom ISO installs. Thus giving the option to have the main server running on KaOS.
