- Provide the best development platform possible.
! Provide full source access to developers and users, including the
! ability to look at CVS tree changes directly.
! Users can even look at our source tree and changes
! directly on the web!
- Integrate good code from any source with acceptable
! copyright (ISC or Berkeley style preferred, GPL acceptable as a last
! recourse but not in the kernel, NDA never acceptable).
! We want to make available source code that anyone can use for ANY
! PURPOSE, with no restrictions.
! We strive to make our software robust and secure, and encourage
! companies to use whichever pieces they want to. There are
! commercial spin-offs of OpenBSD.
- Pay attention to security problems and fix
! them before anyone else does. (Try to be the #1 most
! secure operating system.)
- Greater integration of cryptographic software.
! This means IPsec, key engines, Kerberos,
! and other forms of strong crypto or crypto-using systems.
! OpenBSD is developed and released from Canada and due to Canadian
! law it is legal to export crypto to the world (as
!
! researched by a Canadian individual and as
!
! documented in the Export Control list of Canada).
! OpenBSD developers are doing active research and development on
! IPsec.
!
- Track and implement standards (ANSI, POSIX, parts of X/Open, etc.)
- Work towards a very machine independent source tree.
! Support as many different systems and hardware
! as feasible.
- Be as politics-free as possible; solutions should be decided on the
! basis of technical merit.
- Focus on being developer-oriented in all senses, including holding
! developer-only events called hackathons.
- Do not let serious problems sit unsolved.
!
- Provide a good cross compile/development platform.
- Import external packages with minimal modifications - making upgrading
! much easier. Also to submit back to the developers any changes made.
!
- Make a CDROM-based release approximately every six months, in
! particular to fund the project...
Project Funding
! Naturally, the OpenBSD project requires funds to operate, due to
! Internet line costs and the same hardware upgrade issues everyone
! experiences. For this reason, the project sells CDROMs of our most
! recent release. Thus, when you buy an OpenBSD CD, whether at a
! conference, from one of our other locations, or from our
! CDROM ordering page, you are helping to increase
! the chance that OpenBSD will make future releases.
!
! It is also possible to donate funds or hardware,
! in which case your name ends up on our
! Donations page.
! For more information on this contact
! Theo de Raadt or simply send a
! donation cheque in Canadian or US funds to:
!
! OpenBSD
! 812 23rd Ave SE
! Calgary, Alberta
! Canada
! T2G 1N8
! (Make the cheque out to "Theo de Raadt", since I cannot cash cheques made
! out to "OpenBSD".)
!
!
! Additionally, it is now possible to donate money to the project online via
! credit card or
! PayPal.
!
! While donations are not US tax deductible as charitable contribution,
! they may be deductible as an operating expense, and if someone is so
! inclined, they should ask for the advice of their accountant. The
! same applies to other countries, where corporations can make deductible
! donations under the terms of "Good Will".
!
!
! In the beginning, Theo de Raadt spent more than $30,000 (CDN) to start
! OpenBSD, mostly due to expensive networking costs in Canada (due
! to USA crypto policies, it is not possible to move the project to the
! USA). Thus far, no serious funding or cost-sharing of the project
! has come from any company or educational institution.
! Theo works full-time on improving OpenBSD, and much of the project's
! funds are spent to buy developers new hardware so that they can
! continue to improve OpenBSD (for example, more than 20 new kinds of
! Ethernet cards have showed up on the market since OpenBSD was
! started).
! Thus, funding is needed at all times. Continued donations from our
! user base are what will ensure that OpenBSD continues to exist.
