It’s been a month since this has been available, and the good news is:

  http://static.fsf.org/nosvn/banners/2015fundraiser/guix-fundraiser-2016.html

That is, we have $8,000+, which is enough to buy a new machine for
hydra.gnu.org and to host it.  We’ll be able to put additional money to
good use, notably to buy extra build machines as noted in the post
above.  We are bootstrapping community funding for the project, which is
really cool, and an important milestone.

Big thanks to everyone who donated already, it’s heartening!

We’ll put the counter on the web site (we didn’t have direct access to
it until now), and get ready to buy and install the new hardware.  :-)
