I bet others would too. I bet if such a fund were advertised, and a goal set, that commercial interests would *very quickly* contribute. It's even possible that maybe one other goal besides nfs could be gotten ... maybe making our FS's stackable? wouldn't that be incredible? I think quite a bit of money could be gathered in as little as a month or two. There are several folks who could very definitely do this, and would if they were paid. There are a pretty good number of us FreeBSDers around now, and a lot of us would really appreciate being given a chance to be a part of this. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (Solaris7). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
