Hi everyone, I asked IBM to donate 4-10 Power8 servers to the OpenBSD Foundation, for adding support for this arch. After 6 months this got all the way to their Director of the Power(8) Ecosystem & Alliances, that is the highest executive for the whole arch. Just right now, she's asking for a motivation for IBM to donate - she asks:
"It would be helpful to know where you are seeing requests for OpenBSD on Power and what applications on top of OpenBSD are being requested. We have not seen any requests as of yet from our target clients. " Can you please collect answers to this question and post them here in this thread, or PM them to me. I'll forward your responses and they'll decide whether to donate Power8 devices to OpenBSD, based on them. ** Please tell the next 6-7 days! Thanks! Mikael
