Benefits available to Debian members and contributors are listed below.

To offer benefits to Debian contributors, register an account and add your organisation below in alphabetical order.

Your organisation may also be interested in helping Debian using your resources. If so, you can donate to us, form ongoing partnerships with us, sponsor our conferences, provide gratis products or services to Debian contributors, provide gratis hosting for Debian service experiments, run mirrors of our software, installation media or conference videos or promote our software and community by providing a testimonial or selling Debian merchandise, installation media, pre-installed systems, consulting or hosting. If any of your staff are interested to help Debian, there are many technical and non-technical ways to help out.

NOTE: some services and discounts listed below are meant to be used only for Debian-related work (e.g. debian.net subdomains).

Looking for hardware to run some Debian-related service? See ServicesHosting

GPLHost VPS

GPLHost provides virtual servers running Xen. Provided that your need is to host something related to free software (it doesn't have to be Debian related though), GPLHost can host your project for free. This will be of the form of a free VPS with 512 to 2048 MB of RAM, and 25 to 100 GB of HDD. Everything is currently hosted on a single server in Paris, connected with 1Gbits/s link. The service is self managed (you can reinstall Debian by yourself using the control panel), though zigo will be happy to provide support on IRC.

DDs should send emails to zigo@debian.org (main owner of GPLHost) to get the discount and directions on how to obtain the virtual machine. Mails should be sent using OpenPGP signatures, to prove that you're really a DD (or a DM).


Gandi

Gandi provides website hosting, cloud computing, domain registration and X.509 certificate services. Gandi provides discounts to the open source community.

DDs and DMs must send an OpenPGP-signed email to non-profit@gandi.net indicating your status (Debian Developer or Debian Maintainer) and your Gandi account's username or handle (personal accounts only; no company or reseller accounts). To expedite provisioning, set your account's billing currency before sending the email. Once verified, Gandi will apply discounted grid (level 'E') to the account.


LeaseWeb

LeaseWeb provides dedicated servers, bare metal servers, private clouds, virtual servers and content delivery networks. LeaseWeb offers discounts to Debian Developers.

DDs should send emails to sales@us.leaseweb.com (for North America) or sales@nl.leaseweb.com (for Europe) from their @debian.org address with subject "debian.org membership special offer (ref VLCH)".

After confirmation of identity by replying to emails sent to their @debian.org address, DDs are entitled to discounts. The specific amount of discount is dependent on the service requested and the availability of resources (eg, number of dedicated servers available at the time of the request).


Lenovo

Lenovo offers discounts for many kinds of Lenovo equipment for all active Debian Developers.

DDs should register in the portal corresponding to their geographic zone with their @debian.org mail address.
In order to take advantage of these discounts, you must first visit a region supported, and appropriate URL (see below for full list), register an account using your @debian.org address, and select items while browsing through the region-supported URL. If you visit Lenovo's site through a different entry point, you will not have the discount applied. You will know that you are in the right place if at the very top of the window you see, 'Welcome Linux Community' and your URL query string will have '?groupId=linux'. It is not enough to have this query string in your URL, you must be logged into an account that is registered with @debian.org email address. You should see a discount applied when you add the item to your cart. Please note: this paragraph has not been confirmed to be accurate.
These are currently available in the following regions, Lenovo is working to enable other geographical areas.

Americas: Argentina, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, United States of America

Europe: Austria, Belgium (nl, fr), Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland (en, de, fr)
