Let me say it again ... we don't need money offers (we'll get crushed with them, please don't start mailing that stuff), what we need is an offer from some one, a committer or core, who'll take responsibility to collect the dough and be publicly reponsible for it. If I weren't so hopeless with bucks, I'd offer to do it myself. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- 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
