In that case I'd be looking for someone who has had previous success getting their code (ideally in graphics) accepted into the project.

Again, I realise that money isn't the driving force here, but my thinking is, if there is someone who does contract coding for example, it might be possible to purchase a block of their time to work on this. > > Cheers, > > Pete > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Adam Van Ymeren" <a...@vany.ca> > To: "misc" <misc@openbsd.org> > Sent: Monday, 9 January, 2017 05:44:10 > Subject: Re: Funding for Skylake support > > On 1/7/2017 3:19 PM, Peter Membrey wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> I've gotten OpenBSD up and running on a new Intel NUC, but unfortunately Skylake isn't supported.
