While I was with GoDaddy, I advocated directing funds to the PHP Foundation and PHPCS (a separate project) because we obviously depended heavily on both. I hope to see more hosts support both initiatives and any other app or tool that leverages PHP.

If you agree that this is inconceivably irresponsible: let this be your call to action and FUND THE OPEN SOURCE PROJECTS YOUR ORGANIZATION RELIES ON. Saying "Thanks" once in a while is not enough and does not make open source sustainable.

Unless you live under a stone, everybody will have heard about PHP today. Now, please realize that the vast majority of Open Source Software, like PHP, and including PHP, is largely maintained by **unpaid volunteers**.
