Okay, y'all, with deanna@'s post of dlg@'s request on undeadly.org  
this is gathering steam.  So, keep your cards(Credit) and letters($  
EUR YEN) coming, so Santa can visit Aus. a little earlier than  
usual this year.

I've just transfered another 100eu to the Belgium account for this too.

Is anybody scanning ebay for a suitable machine yet ?

I just saw dlg@'s post on the undeadly thread,

It looks like we have enough to go ahead and get a machine. Thanks 
everyone :)


Now I just have to find a machine...


Since I'm not in Aus I can't help him find a system, but if there's anyone 
over there who can assist I'm sure dlg@ would appreciate the help.


Thanks everyone for getting this together.

I second that thanks :)

I'm struggling to find a machine in .au still though. There is one
itanium machine on ebay in australia, but it is overkill (mostly in
terms of price) for me to be able to purchase it.

If anyone knows of a place in Australias that have itanium machines
that theyre moving out of production and who would be happy to sell
one of them to me, I'd love to know about it.

Thanks again,
dlg

From my perspective, I have some hopes that doing work on ia64 will
lead us to developing security techniques that may affect other
architectures.  But perhaps noone cares about that anymore...

Dunno what the target amount is but if we can get  20 people 
contributing US/E 100 then there should be enough for an Itanium.


So where are the other 18 or so folks?

need a machine for an itanium port

2007-06-06 Thread David Gwynne
im getting to the point where there's no challenge left in writing
device drivers, i want to move onto something new. so after i finish
making the pile of controllers on my desk work, the thing i'd like to
do the most is port openbsd to a new architecture, specifically
itanium.

to do that work though i'd need an itanium to hack on. if itanium
support is something you would like to see happen then i'd appreciate
some help getting a system.

the machine would have to come to brisbane, australia, and i would
prefer a rack mountable system (1u or 2u) and something that is nice
to remotely administer.

email me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and Theo ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) if you'd
like to help.

thanks,
dlg
