Re: pre-orders for 5.0
* Theo de Raadt on Wed, Sep 07, 2011 at 06:35:05AM -0600: I have activated pre-orders for the 5.0 release -- it is scheduled for official release on Nov 1 on the FTP sites. As usual, we try to get CDs in people's hands slightly a few days before that. http://www.openbsd.org/orders.html I think the link to OpenCompany (Italy) should be dropped. They list OpenBSD 4.5 as the current version and mention being out of stock until that one arrives. The last update to the front page was somewhere in 2008 -- it looks rather abandoned... s//un
pre-orders for 5.0
I have activated pre-orders for the 5.0 release -- it is scheduled for official release on Nov 1 on the FTP sites. As usual, we try to get CDs in people's hands slightly a few days before that. http://www.openbsd.org/orders.html There are two tshirts available. It's roughly the same image, but it comes in both white and black. http://www.openbsd.org/tshirts.html#35 At the same time, I am also releasing the song to accompany the art for this release. http://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#50 Please keep in mind that donations and CD/tshirt/poster sales, done twice a year, are crucial to the continuation of the project. It may seem strange to keep selling such out-dated types of items and expecting it to keep the project afloat, but so it goes. As collector items they do pay expenses around here. Besides donations done along with a CD or tshirt purchase, there are a few other options for donations and described at: http://www.openbsd.org/donations.html http://www.openbsdfoundation.org/ Thanks for continuing to let us make OpenBSD.

Re: pre-orders for 5.0
Does anyone else feel like Christmas has come early when they see a pre- order announcement from Theo? Time to make my biannual order plus donation...
