As you're probably aware, the March-July 2004 fundraiser for [Peer-Directed Projects Center](http://freenode.net/pdpc.shtml) is officially at a close. We've met our fundraising goal, with donations totaling $18,119.42. Thanks to our corporate sponsor [Digium](http://www.digium.com/) and to all of the users of freenode. We appreciate your help!

**OPERATIONAL NOTE:** We're in the process of moving one of our hub nodes to its permanent fiber. We'll be rehubbing in about a half hour, sometime around 05:00 UTC, and again in another 8 hours, at 13:00 UTC (midnight and 08:00 US/Central time). We apologize in advance for the disruption. Thanks for your understanding.
