- Naturally, the OpenBSD project requires funds to operate, due to electrical - costs, Internet line costs, the same hardware upgrades that everyone must - experience, and our hackathon events. For this reason, the project sells - CDs, T-shirts, and posters every 6 months when the project makes a release. - When you buy an OpenBSD CD at a conference or from any of the stores listed - at our CDROM ordering page you are - helping to increase the chance that OpenBSD will continue to make - future releases. ! Proceeds from all sales come through our main CDROM manufacturer/distributor, ! the Computer Shop of Calgary, and then directly fund the project leader. The ! remaining money is used to pay for infrastructure costs along with the assistance ! of The OpenBSD Foundation.
! Alternatively, it is also possible to donate funds or hardware, ! in which case your name ends up on our Donations page. ! If you wish your donation to refer to something other than your name, ! or have a link provided on our web page, please send in a comment ! with your transaction. (We will vet the URLs that people give us; ! for taxation purposes the donations must look like donations, and ! we will not allow our donations page to simply be links for advertising ! purposes.)
! In all cases these donations to the project are considered gifts. ! The OpenBSD project does not give anything specific in return for the ! donations, but simply continues to keep trying to write good free software ! for the world.

! In turn, the Foundation then uses these contributions to assist OpenBSD ! according to the Foundation's charter rules; typically this means they ! help with the costs of some hackathon and ! with infrastructure needs. Contact the foundation directors at ! directors@openbsdfoundation.org ! for more information.
! While donations (as gifts) are not generally tax deductible as charitable ! contribution, they may be deductible as an operating expense (or check the ! OpenBSD Foundation above ! for an even better way), and if someone is so inclined, they should ask for ! the advice of their accountant. In some countries corporations can make ! deductible donations under the terms of "Good Will". Those who need very ! strict contribution receipts should consider talking to the ! OpenBSD Foundation.
- We have a list of hardware that we would like to - see donated to the project. We would appreciate it if people would look - through the list and compare it to personal or corporate junk piles. - Amongst other reasons, the list exists so that project members can own - devices that should be supported, so that future releases ship with better - device driver support. -
- - The following people and organizations (listed in chronological order) have - contributed money, equipment, or services to the OpenBSD, OpenSSH, OpenBGPD, - or OpenOSPFD projects. Donations made to the OpenBSD Foundation are not - listed here. -

Donations! The OpenBSD Project is volunteer-driven software group funded by donations. ! We hope our quality software will result in contributions that pay our ! electrical/internet costs and allow us to continue operating ! very productive developer hackathon events. ! The OpenBSD Foundation is ! a Canadian not-for-profit corporation that assists the OpenBSD Project ! according to government-approved charter rules, as exemplified by their ! ! funding activities from previous years. ! ! The OpenBSD Foundation collects contributions by ! ! Cheque, Bank Draft, PayPal, PayPal recurring, or BitPay. ! ! Canadian tax structure does not consider "software projects" eligible for ! charitable contribution, so the donations are not generally tax deductible. ! In many circumstances they can be deducted as an operating expense, so ask ! for the advice of your own accountant. In some countries corporations can ! deduct their donations under the terms of "Good Will". Those who require ! strict-format contribution receipts should contact the directors. + ! Donation of funds or hardware can also be made ! directly to the OpenBSD Project: !
! Such contributions are considered strictly gifts, and are not related in ! any way to The OpenBSD Foundation.
+ + + The following is a cronological list of people and organizations who + contributed to OpenBSD, OpenSSH, and our related projects during the early years + (1997 - 2010). Since 2010, this list has been updated less frequently, as we + focus on software rather than lists. If you or your organization are not + listed here, we still thank you. +
- We would also like to thank everyone who has purchased an OpenBSD - CDROM. These sales fund the project and keep it alive. Buy one for a - friend if you can! - - - Emails about the contents of the donations list:
-
- Since there are several methods of contributing to the OpenBSD project there
- are different maintainers of postings to the list for each method. For
- funds or equipment sent directly to one of the developers then that person
- will update the list and you are presumably in contact already. Email
- addresses for other maintainers at openbsd.org are as follows:
