We have about £300 still in the bank.
We make about $70 per month from adverts (shown to non-members, it used to make more but has declined since the credit crunch hit).
The server costs $160 per month including disaster recovery backups (nightly).
So we're good until about February/March, and then crunch time again.
I have a paypal address that I use to collect the money for T-shirts and donations in the past. And also have done a whip-round at a few events.
There's no panic for cash as it's quite a few months away, and I'm sure we'll sort something out as we always do. However if you feel compelled to donate today, then my traditional response was to "Buy the server a beer"... donate a small amount whenever you think it's worth doing so, to paypal@buro9.com and the server beer money basically goes into the pot and eventually gets spent on the server.
