Good afternoon,
I'm not at all up to date with FreeBSD, but I remember being quite
excited by the possibility of 'Vmware 6.x on FreeBSD', A $3,500
rsync.net bounty claimed by Orlando Bassotto in 2007.

I checked Mr Bassotto's web site shortly

I understand Vmware is commercial, but what about Sun's/OpenSolaris's xVM,
(VirtualBox) its free. I haven't played with it in awhile but FreeBSD could
be run as a Guest OS. Maybe the newer version can support FreeBSD hosting.
Needless,

How about a way to discuss the bounties?
Could be as simple as a forum where people can just discuss the merit of a
bounty.
All feedback is appreciated.
Wouldn't hurt to have a Contact link and a Feedback link right

again, if a sufficiently large number of people added a
small amount to the bounty, it might become attractive
enough for a developer to look at it.

And there's the winning point; since OS SW is community-based,
it'd be *uber* nice to have

Hmm, well I guess I might have jumped the gun a bit. I can see how it could
be useful. I don't really believe that open source software should have a
price when it comes to drivers and things like that.
It's not like anyone is asking you for money, so I don't see why you are
complaining.
FYI, we're working closely with Adobe to get native Flash on FreeBSD. I
expect we'll have a solution at some point this year.
Y'know, when you're talking to them, could you mention Adobe AIR would be
lovely to have working in FreeBSD, too? ;)

Over the last year or so I've seen a few references to software
bounties for FreeBSD, often with people commenting that there is no
way for people to pledge their support (financial or otherwise), other
than mailing lists and the like.
I decided I would bite the bullet, so I'm announcing

A few times in the past some people (notably the guys from

These have usually been announced on the mailing lists, and if
others want to offer their support, then they can,
