sponsoring ZFS development on FreeBSD

2009-06-06 Thread Dan Naumov
Hello

My question is concerning sponsoring the FreeBSD project and ZFS
development in particular. I know I am just a relatively poor person
so I can't contribute much (maybe on the order of 20-30 euro a month),
but I keep seeing FreeBSD core team members keep mentioning we value
donations of all sizes, so what the hell :) Anyways, in the past I
have directed my donations to The FreeBSD Foundation, if I want to
ensure that as much of my money as possible goes directly to benefit
the development of ZFS support on FreeBSD, should I continue donating
to the foundation or should I be sending donations directly to
specific developers?


Sincerely
- Dan Naumov

donati...@freebsd.org

and of course you may sponsor it too by improving ZFS code, or maybe - 
making some better FS.

I'm not sure why you are laughing, because you _can_ tell the FreeBSD 
Foundation how you would like them to spent your money. If you click on 
Donate there's a box where you can enter the project(s) you'd like to see 
funded. 
Although ZFS isn't currently listed as a project, I'm sure there's enough 
interest from the community.

Just to clarify. . .

I'm not laughing at just the response, which was appropriate. I was laughing
at the combination of response and responder.

I'll shut up now.

well - it's quite a big difference between your donation 
proposition/question and the former one. BIG difference.
