Just out of curiosity, why are you trying to take in money by nickels and dimes rather than obtaining research grants from the Alberta government?
Alberta is rolling in cash, and has specifically stated it wants to invest in technological research so that it will be in a good position when oil money begins to dwindle. OpenBSD could surely qualify as a research organization without too much trouble, at which point you'd be eligible for substantial provincial funding. I recognize that government grants come with red-tape, and people are often disdainful of taking "hand-outs". In this case, however, I'd think the pros outweigh the cons. Don't you have a wish-list of things you'd implement or improve if you got sufficient funding? Something to think about...
