Here is an excerpt of the email Jason received on Oct 17: From: Rackspace Date: Tue, Oct 17, 2017 at 3:47 PM Subject: Rackspace Cloud Support Update to: Open Source Discount Program Thank you for participating in the Open Source Discount program! Over the past 3 years, Rackspace has provided over 100 startups with discounted cloud infrastructure through this program. We are proud of our contribution in this area, and hope these credits have helped contribute to the success of your organization as it has for so many others. With that said, we have decided that now is the right time to close out this program. On December 31, 2017, the Open Source discount program will end, and credits will no longer be applied to your account. You will be responsible for your full invoice amount moving forward. To help reduce any impact that this may cause to your business, we would like to schedule an Account Review. In this review, we will discuss the best options for your account moving forward. Please reply back so that we can set up a day and time works best for this review. You can also call in 1-800-961-4454 and ask for your Technical Account Manager. "You will be responsible for your full invoice amount moving forward." reads like "You will pay the bill" to me -- and apparently many others were confused to. I didn't have time to follow the discussions that followed up and maybe Rackspace is still sponsoring FLOSS project, I don't know. But I think the move to another server is a good thing. Best, -- Bastien
