This is a great opportunity for those of us with a vested interest in seeing Java go for FreeBSD to put our money where our mouthes are. The FreeBSD Foundation has made this really quite easy, incidentally. You just go to http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/#donations and click on the "DONATE" logo to use Paypal. Takes all of about 60 seconds. It probably doesn't hurt to stick in a little message about why you're donating in the Paypal message either. Vote with your dollars, and all of that. Thanks for making this work, Alexey, Greg and gang!
