Richard Sperry wrote: So if I wanted OSSIM.net integration, what would I pay? Give me and the group the sales pitch, please. I'm far from a sales pitch kinda guy, but here's my best shot. ;) There are really two ways to get a feature implemented for-pay. First, as Scott mentioned, the bounty system. Put an offer out there on the forum and see if somebody will pick it up. Generally that's the lowest cost way, though these projects also tend to only be taken on if they're really easy, someone is interested in implementing that particular feature for other reasons and the bounty is just a bonus, or if others chip in as well. Though the bounty system needs some tweaking, we have had a number of people promise contributions recently and disappear when the work is finished. Second option, and the only guaranteed way to get something implemented is to send me specifications for what you're looking for ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), and I'll work with Scott and any other interested developers of the open source project as necessary to provide a fixed price quote for the desired functionality. More info here: http://www.bsdperimeter.com/index.php?option=com_contenttask=viewid=8Itemid=25 Feel free to contact me (off or on list) if you would like to discuss further.

Sorry, I am not sales person but I can suggest that you start a bounty in the forum and pledge what you think it's worth.

Re: [pfSense Support] License
Speaking on behalf of the company doing the commercial support, I can safely say that I don't ever see pfSense becoming a for-pay solution. Scott, Chris and the other developers have always been very committed to the open source software community. The reason there is a commercial support option at all is because many companies require it in order to consider implementing a solution. The commercial development side of things is a way for people (or companies) who want to see a particular feature in pfSense and want to reward the developers for doing the work. This benefits everyone since almost all of these development projects find their way into the pfSense system, and the developers are able to see a financial benefit for their time and effort spent. I hope this helps clarify fears that people might have about pfSense. In short, the intent is to give people more options, not less. -Gary Sean Cavanaugh wrote: technically it already is. if you want elevated support, they charge for it. but out of that comes upgrades and feature enhancements of the software for all users. also the rewards programs on the forum for adding functionality that is being asked for. -Sean From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: support@pfsense.com Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2008 10:34:08 -0800 Subject: [pfSense Support] License Since this is becoming more of a commercial project, do we have to worry about this becoming a pay software?
