The X-Windows Consortium used to fund some X work I think. By analogy maybe there's now enough corporate use of BSD to start something similar for BSD ? Some work like ia64/gcc presumably could be sponsored by an All-BSD Consortium/ Foundation if one were to be formed. I've no idea about the ia64, but if it happens to use resilient gold flashed steel pin connectors (VME style), & not cheap gold flashed PCB edge connectors like Intel/AMD based ISA/PCI/EISA boards, then maybe some companies manufacturing reliable hardware might be interested. There have been some big users & big budgets mentioned in last 6 months, ask [first name forgoten] Watson re Trusted BSD etc? People with ideas or who may know of money, if only elsewhere: - FreeBSD Inc, Jordan Hubbard & David Greenman - FreeBSD Foundation bod@FreeBSDFoundation.org To: FreeBSD-Announce@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: The FreeBSD Foundation -- an introduction Message-Id: <20010627123459.9CF3737B40A@hub.freebsd.org> Date: Wed, 27 Jun 2001 05:34:59 -0700 (PDT) Sender: owner-freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.ORG - Look on http://www.freebsd.org, see where it says `donations welcome' & ask ideas of whoever's on the receiving end :-) - Ask FSF.Org/GNU.org if they have any GCC funding available, can drum any up for ia64 cpu, or can suggest contacts where you might.
