Spread the word!
I mean, large portions of the internet rely on openssh, so if anyone
has some money lying around, order them cd's, t-shirts or sweaters
or just donate! Without openssh we'd all have to succumb to the
whims of commercial ssh vendors or go back to unencrypted logons!

If you know any people that might buy (large quantities of) OpenBSD
CD's, or even may be inclined to donations, please let them read this.

Subject: OpenBSD finances

I just wanted to remind the community that OpenBSD 3.9 pre-orders are
up.
I know you saw a blurb from Bob a few days ago and many of you purchased
and/or donated some cash, thank you very much for that! The bad news is
that OpenBSD for the past 2 years has turned a loss of approximately
$20K USD ($40K total). I don't think I need to explain in many words
what that is doing to our beloved OS, and worse, our main systems
architect. This is starting to seriously impede the development of
OpenBSD and OpenSSH. A lot of serious architecture and development is
done at hackathons around the world. The week-long one in Calgary being
the big one where everyone tries to get together to discuss and plot a
course for the future. To put this in perspective, due to financial
restraints the 2007 hackathon is not going to happen unless someone is
willing to pick up that tab. The scheduled hackathon of 2006 will
happen in about 2 months. Large hackathons like that cost up $30K USD.
The smaller hackathons that are concentrated on a single area of
development are less expensive and come in at around $10K USD. These
figures do not include flights and stay for the poorer and student
developers we have. Unfortunately not everyone in OpenBSD is able to
afford these trips but we do love to fly them out to pick their brains.
What is happening is that the CD purchase FTP ratio is out of control.
People pretty much stopped purchasing CDs in quantities they used to and
use the FTP mirrors instead. This lack of sales is what is causing the
project to turn a small loss for the 2nd year in a row.
To fulfill most development goals OpenBSD should be generating about
$100K USD. With that amount of money the project can finance 1 large
and 4 small hackathons per year. Pay the bills and a part-time
developer to mind the shop when Theo isn't around. In an ideal world we
would have a sponsor per hackathon and the CD sales would be paying for
other expenses.
Inquiries about sponsoring hackathons and other fund raising questions
can be sent to marco(a)openbsd.org. Serious/interesting offers will be
evaluated by me and discussed with Theo. The idea is to keep him busy
with technical stuff and as little as possible with fund-raising
activities. Unfortunately sending email to the lists is
counter-productive and worse will generate flames. Please restrain
yourself and simply contact me off list.
What I want to point out what a lot of people don't seem to realize is
that OpenSSH development is paid from the same pool of money as OpenBSD.
OpenSSH is in use by millions around the world however the revenue
stream just simply isn't there. This is where other projects could
help. Without naming entities or projects by name there are others out
there that are sitting on some cash. It would be wonderful if these
entities could share some of the wealth to keep us going.
All this said, a few words of caution. First and foremost
OpenBSD/OpenSSH will not compromise its goals. The reason why the
project has been able to maintain integrity is by simply saying "no" to
outside preassure. Doing the right thing can and sometimes is painful,
but it is what makes the project into what it is today. All donations
will therefore have to be without any strings attached.

For those of you who understand dutch: if you want to have a good
laugh, install Firefox in afrikaans. For example:
click here to download the plugin: "Klik hier om inprop af te laai"
never for this site: "Nooit voor hier die werf nie"
web search:"Web soektoch"
: )
Hi All,
Sorry to bother you with this, but i was wondering if any of you
knows someone who is doing internet marketing (ie. marketing sites
on the internet with ads and stuff) for a living??
Thanks,
Koen

I am looking for recommendations for a site ripper. Perhaps some of
you have had experience doing site ripping. We will rip approximately
300 sites, probably not the entire sites. We'd like to it all on USB
sticks, together with a light-weight browser, and plug-ins.
Additionally, we'd like to have a refresh protocol, where the usb
stick user can go online and update the ripped sites on the stick.
It's best if any logo's and 'looks and feels' of any software on the
stick are minimal. Also there shouldn't be any traces left about the
ripper.
