Hi, I’m trying to choose a simply and permissively licensed operating system to use for a class group project but due to the project timelines don’t have time to try out every BSD-licensed OS out there and am trying to narrow down possibilities. As far as I can tell OpenBSD, NetBSD, and FreeBSD seem comparable in terms of capabilities but Project leadership/governance is also an important consideration for me on principle. My question is, how is the OpenBSD Project governance structured; is the OpenBSD Core Team “democratically” elected as in the FreeBSD Project, or is OpenBSD Core personally appointed only by the currently serving, existing members of the OpenBSD Core Team as in the NetBSD Project? (I mean this question sincerely and was not able to find the answer in any of the online OpenBSD documentation.)
Thanks so much in advance! Austin “If you want to change the future, start living as if you’re already there.” —Lynn Conway
