I've thought about donating manpower; tried to many years ago, in fact. But I was deterred by the egos, the politics, and the territoriality and hotheadedness of some of the developers. So, most of my contributions of code (and I have made quite a few) have been passed quietly through committers so as to avoid this. Maybe the situation is better now; I don't know. As for monetary donations: We are not a large corporation, and so could only make relatively small ones as opposed to more valuable "in kind" donations. --Brett Glass _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
