I have some limited : experience in working with openbsd folks on cross-platform issues, but : the more the merrier. Working with the OpenBSD folks and the NetBSD folks are worlds apart in many ways. This is both good and bad :-). And it usually isn't the person you are working directly with that will cause problems for you. Someone else in the project will freak at something that is totally insane, or so it seems, and you'll have to deal. However, all projects are weird in some way, and the other BSDs are really no worse than FreeBSD in this respect for most poeple.
