We got another round of infrastructure sponsorship from Digital Ocean. That will also cover AI experiments.

DigitalOcean Renews Sponsorship – A Strong Foundation for rsyslog Innovation

We are pleased to announce that **DigitalOcean** has renewed its sponsorship of the rsyslog project. The partnership between rsyslog and DigitalOcean has been in place for many years and continues to be an essential part of our technical infrastructure. DigitalOcean provides the compute resources that power both large parts of our **continuous integration (CI) pipeline** and the **package download server** used by thousands of rsyslog users worldwide. This support ensures the reliability and consistency of rsyslog releases and testing workflows, which are critical for maintaining a stable and trusted open source project. The renewed sponsorship gives us the stability we need for day-to-day operations while also providing flexibility to explore new ideas. In particular, it enables **enhanced experimentation** within the scope of our broader **AI-First strategy**. While AI-First stands on its own, DigitalOcean’s support and its **Gradient platform** allow us to test concepts more quickly and gather early feedback from real-world use. We are currently exploring new ways to integrate AI-driven assistance into rsyslog’s documentation and development ecosystem, using Gradient for selected prototypes and evaluations. These experiments complement our ongoing modernization work and help us understand how intelligent tools can make rsyslog easier to configure, extend, and maintain. We thank DigitalOcean for its long-term commitment to open source and for supporting both the **core infrastructure** and our **forward-looking research and development** efforts. As our experiments mature, we look forward to sharing updates and continuing this strong collaboration.

Thank you DigitalOcean for extending your support for Valibot! We will use these credits to power our @umami.is database to improve our docs over time. Nearly 50,000 users have accessed our docs in the last 90 days and we expect much more traffic by the end of the year. #DOForOpenSource
