Would the fund raising be handled through FreeBSD or direct to you? Are you taking pledges now? I would assume you would gather pledges over the next month to see if can get the USD16500, if you do, then the pledges become real donations, if you dont, then the pledges become null. If the fund raising is connected with FreeBSD, could people who donate larger amounts get some form of acknowledgement on the FreeBSD site? This would give an incentive for vendors who sell products that rely or use FreeBSD to donate larger amounts. -John On Thu, 8 Apr 2004, Poul-Henning Kamp wrote: > > http://people.freebsd.org/~phk/funding.html > > Poul-Henning > > -- > Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 > phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 > FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe > Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
