-* A big Thanks to all supporters
-
-Due to this [[http://www.propublica.org/article/the-worlds-email-encryption-software-relies-on-one-guy-who-is-going-broke][ProPublica article]] we received more than 120,000 \euro of
-individual donations on a single day.  There was even more: The [[https://www.linuxfoundation.org/programs/core-infrastructure-initiative][Core
-Infrastructure Initiative]] granted 60,000 $ for 2015.  Our payment
-service [[https://twitter.com/stripe/status/563449352635432960][Stripe]] and [[https://www.facebook.com/notes/protect-the-graph/supporting-gnu-privacy-guard/1564591893780956][Facebook]] will each give 50,000 $ to the project.
-And finally the [[https://www.wauland.de/en/donation.html#61][Wau Holland Stiftung]] is collecting tax deductible
-funds for GnuPG (19000 \euro plus 57 BTC).
-
-As the main author of GnuPG, I like to thank everyone for supporting
-the project, be it small or large individual donations, helping users,
-providing corporate sponsorship, working on the software, and for all
-the encouraging words.
-
-GnuPG does not stand alone: there are many other projects, often
-unknown to most people, which are essential to keep the free Internet
-running.  Many of them are run by volunteers who spend a lot of unpaid
-time on them.  They need our support as well.
