19: <hr>
1.1 deraadt 20:
1.325 deraadt 21: The following list outlines hardware that the OpenBSD project could use.
22: There are a number of reasons why developers need hardware, and it is important
23: to first of all realize these reasons:
24: <ul>
25: <li>To support a specific device, normally one which is more rare or new.
26: <li>To be part of their development environment
27: <li>Some types of machines may be different in some way
28: (ie. big-endian or unsigned-char) and ensure that developers
29: write code more carefully.
30: <li>That said, space or power may be at a premium for some people
31: </ul>
1.1 deraadt 32: <p>
33:
1.78 deraadt 34: If you do not own these devices, but want to help us, we recommend you
1.228 jufi 35: search on <a href="http://www.ebay.com">eBay</a> for the devices. If
1.78 deraadt 36: you do the bidding and then get the device shipped to us, it really
1.325 deraadt 37: helps us. It is better if developers develop, and skip the bidding process,
38: since any time saved can be spent on improving OpenBSD instead.<p>
1.258 david 39:
1.325 deraadt 40: If it is clear which specific developer should be contacted, please do
41: so directly. Otherwise contact <a href="mailto:deraadt@openbsd.org">Theo de Raadt</a>
42: who will pass on the message to whichever developers are in need.<p>
1.22 deraadt 43:
1.325 deraadt 44: Please be very clear as to where you are located!! For larger items this
45: can be very important.

1.331 jolan 61: <h3><font color="#e00000">General device requirements.</font></h3>
1.325 deraadt 62: We try to spread these types of devices around our development community.
1.313 jsg 63: <ul>
1.334 deraadt 64: <li>A few 1U 1Gbit switches with many ports
1.384 deraadt 65: <li>A 10Gbit switch so we can support 10Gbit one day
1.325 deraadt 66: <li>Laptops. These die often enough that our developers need about 2-3
67: replacements a year.
68: <li>Apple Mac powerpc equipment.
1.334 deraadt 69: <li>Faster & smaller sparc64 machines, for instance 1U rack mount machines
1.325 deraadt 70: <li>Any amd64 or faster i386 hardware which comes available
1.343 miod 71: <li>Narrow SCSI disk drives of 2GB or more.
1.325 deraadt 72: <li>Other devices
73: <li>We generally do not need older and "very common" ISA/PCI equipment, since
74: our developers will generally have gotten their hands on these in the
75: past.
