Hello,
It's a great pleasure to announce that OpenBSD 5.2 is getting close to be released.
See the release page:
http://www.openbsd.org/52.html
Naturally, open source software isn't written without money. Money is needed to buy development
machines, pay for bandwidth, and fund Theo de raadt to work full-time on OpenBSD.
You probably don't use OpenBSD, but you use at least 1 component derived from OpenBSD: OpenSSH.
OpenSSH (ssh) is maintained by the OpenBSD team, and we put a lot of effort into making it works
on all the cisco, junipers, linux, Oracle, IBM, HP, <Another big vendor> gear out there. Figures show that
90% of the internet uses openssh !
Unfortunately, we receive very little funding from those companies. Therefore we're relying on end-users
to support our efforts.
The CDs cost $50 USD, and donations are also welcomed:

Meanwhile, you can already enjoy the geeky openbsd song for the upcoming release:
