1.1 deraadt 24: <p>
1.325 deraadt 25: The following list outlines hardware that the OpenBSD project could use.
26: There are a number of reasons why developers need hardware, and it is important
27: to first of all realize these reasons:
1.995 tj 28:
1.325 deraadt 29: <ul>
30: <li>To support a specific device, normally one which is more rare or new.
1.831 miod 31: <li>To be part of their development environment.
1.653 kevlo 32: <li>Some types of machines may be different in some way
1.741 sobrado 33: (i.e. big-endian or unsigned-char) and ensure that developers
1.325 deraadt 34: write code more carefully.
1.831 miod 35: <li>That said, space or power may be at a premium for some people.
1.653 kevlo 36: </ul>
1.1 deraadt 37:
1.1071 bentley 38: <p>
1.78 deraadt 39: If you do not own these devices, but want to help us, we recommend you
1.1094 tj 40: search on <a href="https://www.ebay.com">eBay</a> for the devices. If
1.78 deraadt 41: you do the bidding and then get the device shipped to us, it really
1.325 deraadt 42: helps us. It is better if developers develop, and skip the bidding process,
1.1071 bentley 43: since any time saved can be spent on improving OpenBSD instead.

1.1071 bentley 45: <p>
1.325 deraadt 46: If it is clear which specific developer should be contacted, please do
47: so directly. Otherwise contact <a href="mailto:deraadt@openbsd.org">Theo de Raadt</a>
1.1071 bentley 48: who will pass on the message to whichever developers are in need.
1.22 deraadt 49:
1.1071 bentley 50: <p>
1.325 deraadt 51: Please be very clear as to where you are located!! For larger items this
52: can be very important.

1.1071 bentley 56: <h3>General device requirements</h3>
1.995 tj 57:
1.1071 bentley 58: <p>
1.325 deraadt 59: We try to spread these types of devices around our development community.
1.995 tj 60:
1.313 jsg 61: <ul>
1.1031 deraadt 62: <li>Laptops. These die often enough that as a group our needier
63: developers need help replacing about 2-3 per year.
1.653 kevlo 64: <li>Apple Mac powerpc equipment.
1.670 deraadt 65: <li>HP J6750 machines (J6700 is the second best choice).
1.912 deraadt 66: <li>Faster & smaller sparc64 machines, for instance 1U rack mount
67: machines. It is important to spread sparc64 around the development
1.913 sthen 68: community, since it is the most strict platform for detecting non-portable
1.912 deraadt 69: or buggy code.
1.653 kevlo 70: <li>Any amd64 or faster i386 hardware which comes available.
71: <li>We generally do not need older and "very common" ISA/PCI equipment, since
1.325 deraadt 72: our developers will generally have gotten their hands on these in the
73: past.
