We acknowledge all sponsors on our [website](http://freenode.net/acknowledgements.shtml), but it is nice from time to time to provide a round-up of recent changes on the sponsorship scene! + If you're currently connected to freenode, you will be connected to a donated server - look at the "MOTD" (delivered to you on connection or by passing the command _/motd_) to see who has provided your particular server. + Our newest servers include roddenberry.freenode.net (Brisbane, Australia) and asimov.freenode.net (Dallas, Texas, USA), provided by [On Q Telecom](http://www.onqtel.com) and by [Rackspace](http://www.rackspace.com), respectively. + Worthy of mention indeed are those companies who support the network in ways other than providing servers. [Gandi](http://www.gandi.net) provides our SSL certificate and acts as our domain registrar, and [Simtec Electronics](http://www.simtec.co.uk) recently generously supported the network with a donation of [entropykeys](http://www.entropykey.co.uk). Look out for a later technical blog post as we roll these out! + While this post focuses on recent additions to the sponsorship team, it's important not to forget the ongoing contributions of all our sponsors - take another look at our [acknowledgements section](http://freenode.net/acknowledgements.shtml) and give these groups the kudos they deserve! + Cheers, Martin
