Monero Merchant of the Week
AirVPN.org is a VPN provider based in Italy. They contribute to FOSS by having created and currently maintaining a GUI for OpenVPN called Eddie, and accept Monero for all of their services. They are fairly highly rated by That One Privacy Site, although every user is encouraged to do their own research to find something that fits their needs.
Check back next week for another merchant that accepts Monero for their goods and services.
Volunteer Opportunities
If you want to get involved in making Monero better, but aren’t sure how, check out the volunteer opportunities below.

Anyone with moderate technical ability is encouraged to try to build and run Monero nightlies. Do not trust it with your Monero, but feel free to open an Issue on Github as problems arise. Instructions to build on your OS of choice can be found on GitHub.
