Nope, $100, 000 is about right . insurance , equipment , phone calls .
In fact we can probably spend more than $1M/year :
equipment -- computers for testing, engineering, and ports group
communication cost including phone system or calls.
test group
porting group
engineering group
marketing group --- we don't want to go around doing this telethon thingy
every year.
sales --- well the sky is the limit on this one.
What building/offices , telecommute Dude!!
We can probably use all the money plus more of what people can throw at
FreeBSD.org.
To the group:
While we are having this nice chat, have you thought of sending
your small donation ? I did 8)
Cheers,
Amancio
