Notes
The most significant thing of note in this report is the increase in the AWS expense from USD$23.79 to USD$25.66. This increase is caused by a increase in usage of the AWS Cloudfront (CDN) service exceeding the free tier. Majority of the AWS expense continues to be AWS S3 (Simple Storage Service) used for storage of Ten Forward’s media uploads and database backups.
AWS’ cost forecasting seems to suggest that we will hold steady at this kind of usage. We’ll see what happens.
Other than that all of other expenses remain steady. Total income remains around the CA$290-CA$300 mark with variability for one time donations. We are one month away from reaching our first TFSF milestone of CA$1000! If you would like to contribute, you can do so here.
Thank you everyone for your support! That’s all from me this month, I’ll see y’all next month.
