Like OpenBSD? Like to see new stuff happening? You really need to order a CD today :)
forget about multi-license, it is isc license and it doesn't really make sense to make them like ms volume license. but how hard would it be to provide an option for people to specify a different price for buying the cd? then you can pay $1000 for a cd if you want. -- g):g.1e/h2/g )cf71h07e/e.9f04c sunnz.org

I'd love to go fix the sii3114 wdc(4) bug, and work with the other developers in the group to push ~10 important changes into the tree so that they make 5.0 but sorry... I should go 'hack some business models' instead? If there are "hackers" of that kind lurking somewhere, probably not on this list, some of them would eventually want to share the fun. As long as it costs less than it brings in for funding what wrong could it do ? It costs time. Go do an install of OpenBSD 3.0 to understand the point. It subtracts time but if it also multiplies by more than one, at some point that's worth it. I really do enjoy the time you make me gain and there is so much more after the installation too, that's why I really wish or accept to buy something. Maybe OpenBSD would also enjoy the time and funding gained from some other kind of hackers. People who reveal and exploit our willingness to buy things we like, and others who like to communicate an image in sync with the produced goods : a f*ing awesome piece of software, if you sirs allow me. That's what a newborn geek would almost hear from far away but most have no chance to realize why and how because they never hear something from OpenBSD itself (other than from www.openbsd.org) and some due RTFM from irc. I think people who like to learn tend to listen more than they speak, but you also need someone talking to you. I learned so much just reading on the @openbsd lists and I feel I should have heard of it much sooner. If I had discovered it a few years sooner maybe I would be a happy contributor by now. And the motto can be something as blunt as "hack up or put up", if it's how it works that's how it should read, big. Maybe something that implies less giving away than "_Free_, Functional & Secure". Those who care about the price will know. Just saying it with no other background creates an identity you can share for the things you like and enjoy. I think that like when registering a domain name, you are registering an image in people's mind : stubborn and hackers who have no fear speaking up the wrongs and like to patch them. Maybe this is too heroic, people don't get why one would want to do this. And at some point make it clear that it is heavily underrated and needs funding. Actually this is already done we know it is underrated and there is plenty to read about OpenBSD but, only for those who already reached it. You have to reach the top to enjoy the view. Reaching it is really unlikely but really worth it. Also advocacy@ feels quite empty compared to misc@. Bootstrapping is the right term, more than meta cross compiling, but this is still all about partial evaluation and reversing/translating it. -- Thomas de Grivel

They are quite useful (mutliple archs, src, packages, etc.) and it's so nice to have hard media around. And on the fun side, the "themes" are highly entertaining. (Who does the artwork? They've got real talent!) The shirts are durable and geeky, can't go wrong there either. Since you're going to get clothes anyway, it just makes sense to get some cool OpenBSD shirts. Nicolai

Re: Like OpenBSD? Like to see new stuff happening? You really need to order a CD today :)
Surely there are two separate problems here: 1) you think OpenBSD needs to work to open up loopholes so that people who aren't donating or aren't donating as much because of tax reasons will now do so (and Amit thinks this is a series of technical problems that can be solved by non-strategic and sometimes non-sensical deliverables, such as finding a way to license distribution of a product that in its original distribution requires no license, which looks more like a tax avoidance or money laundering scheme than a legitimate fundraising tool and in any case not like anything that sentients will pay for in substantial numbers); and 2) you personally would like to give more, it's just that your tax accountant can't find a way. Maybe we could add a scheme where people pay OpenBSD for each time they don't send mail to misc, even though they really want to? Or when they mail misc and realise a few replies later they really ought to have thought better of it? Or when they flame the hell out of someone on misc and feel a lot better for it. There have to be the rudiments of a previously undiscovered licensing, royalty, or subscription scheme in there somewhere. Maybe you could consult Apple and discover that OpenBSD should demand 30% of your monthly bills for Internet access from your ISP(s), on the view that you wouldn't use the Internet if it weren't for OpenBSD. ;->, Bayard On 21 Apr 2011, at 02:33, Benny Lofgren wrote: > On 2011-04-21 02.51, Marco Peereboom wrote: >> When ordering a CD it lets you tack on a donation.

Re: Like OpenBSD? Like to see new stuff happening? You really need to order a CD today :)
I'm late to read this thread but I just want to say I'm very grateful for all the work you've done, specially because you don't confuse me with business tricks. About business, I dont think you should expect people to be 'good', but I also think that when what you are doing makes good to people, it isn't that hard to make them feel uncomfortable. I would suggest making donation 'buttons' ominipresent when you navigate openbsd.org. Put it visible in places that people will need: download, documentation. For example, I'm quite on a budget but for example wikipedia.org completely got me. I use it so often that I couldn't read any more 'we need your donations' and ignore it when there was no more advertising on the site. My five cents, marc

I have tested it on i386 and amd64. Works great to my office's Cisco ASA VPN. Thanks to Landry Bruell for straightening me out on the LIBDEPENDS in my old makefile. And thanks for Jiri B. for the original... Comments are suggested... [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/x-gzip which had a name of openconnect-3.02.tar.gz]

We should not be offended when you say "You are not getting any sales because you don't do enough". "Do more." Benny's proposal is good! License the CD's as 10, 50, 100 user license set, exactly like you do for the old CDs which are $500+. This way OpenBSD taps into the commercial market. Commercial users buy the commercial CDs. Don't be ridiculous. Commercial users don't do that because OpenBSD is already free. They are not fools. Perhaps there are a few who are asking for specific methods where they can help fund us, within their constraints, but that is not nearly the same as "get rich quick". They are an outstanding few, and they are not real commercial users. Even with proper deductable donation structures in place (ie. the OpenBSD Foundation) large corporations that are using OpenSSH in their products have given less than pennies per product. The world is not a shiny "throw money around" place as you think. Last time around somebody asked for packages on DVD. OpenBSD gets pre-orders a month in advance and if so many people want i386/amd64/etc package DVDs, just give it to them! MacOS + Linux + OpenSolaris has done some work on fat binaries, and I am sure with the expertise around here it can be done within some reasonable time. What a kick-ass project that would be! I understand that this is another form of saying "do not do enough". We should do more. We should make a DVD, spend money on manufacturing it and packaging it, have people like Bob who is working on the 'buffer flipping' code instead go add more entries to the web page, and then see it if works. See if more than 50 sell. And what if it is a loss. And hey, every 6 months we can do *more work* to build yet another product! Anyway, wouldn't it be cool to reduce the bandwidth and hard drive usage for mirrors and simplify life for everybody? It might be news to you that the mirrors do that for free. A survey is free from so many websites. We get spammed all the time, participate in this and that, why not host a survey right now someplace on openbsd.org or one of the devs websites and see how much interest is really there. Yes, we should build a survey. And a wiki. It would be awesome. We'd get rich. OpenBSD got to be able to have more income streams. Income? I see that you have made a list of things of "more things we should do". I don't see gauranteed income in there, anywhere. I can't even get the guys who hack on the project coordinated to work on the 49.html page so that we can get a ANNOUNCEMENT file ready for the upcoming file, because it isn't code, and it isn't as much fun. So you come here telling us we should do more? Get real. I don't do business, but I have more business sense than you. This is a good security minded response : don't expect more, don't count on it. This is coming from a trusted source but not necessarily opposed to the actual proposition. Business sense is good but I get that business is not just about preventing failure but also exploiting the "features" of the outer world, and the wonderfully informative and intricate laws API. Maybe it could use some full disclosure as well. There has to be some kind of |ber geek enjoying that ; business models are something to hack and debug, on and on, up to the details of the products you release and sell. As long as it costs less than it brings in for funding what wrong could it do ? I'm not saying it can happen, there is no failure in not trying unless you had to try, right ? -- Thomas de Grivel
