Progress on official CyanogenMod ROMs was pretty slow these past few weeks because of the lack of build servers. The CyanogenMod team asked for donations for new servers and a large number of people from the Android enthusiast community responded to the call.

The donation goal was achieved within hours and just a couple of days after the event, the CyanogenMod team has released all new nightlies for CyanogenMod 9 based on Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich for the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S and Motorola XOOM.
