Contegix: Our Commitment to Community

Contegix believes strongly in the open source community, the Linux community, and the power of the entrepreneur in the social web. It is for this reason, mixed with our desire to give back, that we sponsor individuals, organizations, and their respective projects.

Long before we had a name for it, Contegix was supporting communities of interest for the purpose of helping exciting people do exciting things. The truth is, we are better as a company for our participation in your work.

Below is a list of people and communities we support. For most, this includes hosting and bandwidth free-of charge, but for many, it also includes technical support, management, and monitoring. Our principals and engineers also spend a lot of time on these sites, sharing information and learning more about what makes your business work.

And if you don't see your name below, feel free to contact us to be considered for sponsorship!
