1.1 david 20: Each person working on OpenBSD has their own aims and priorities,
21: but the goals of project as a whole are to:
22: <ul>
1.3 fn 23: <li>Provide the best development platform possible - with full source access
1.12 kstailey 24: for developers and users.
1.3 fn 25: <li>Work towards a machine independent source tree.
1.9 deraadt 26: <li>Pay attention to security problems and fix them.
1.13 ! deraadt 27: <li>Work towards greater integration of cryptographic software where
! 28: possible. This means IPsec, IPv6, key engines, and other forms
! 29: of strong crypto. OpenBSD is from Canada and may export crypto.
1.12 kstailey 30: <li>Track and implement standards (POSIX, parts of X/Open, etc.)
1.3 fn 31: <li>Support as many different systems and hardware as feasible.
32: <li>Be as politics free as possible - solutions should be decided on the
33: basis of technical merit.
34: <li>Provide a good cross compile/development platform.
35: <li>Integrate good code from any source with acceptable copyright
36: (Berkeley style preferred, GPL acceptable, NDA not).
37: <li>Import external packages with minimal modifications - making upgrading
38: much easier. Also to submit back to the developers any changes made.
