[lugm.org] OpenBSD/OpenSSH infrastructure sponsor in Canada

[Loganaden Velvindron]

Dear All:

I'm sending this in the hope that someone on this list might currently be working in Canada, and
be interested to help.

I would like to remind everybody that OpenSSH originates from OpenBSD, and this will impact
OpenSSH's health. In addition to this, I would like to also mention PF, and the hundreds of security
improvements that have gone into other piece of software such as bind, unbound, nsd, Xorg, apache, nginx
and a pretty long list.

If someone can help, I'd be more than happy to put them into contact with the people in charge of

the infrastructure in Canada. This might be written off as a donation of some sort and might be tax 
deductible.

What we need is a canadian company that can pay for the electricity bills of the infrastructure in
Calgary.


Theo de raadt:
Hi everyone. The OpenBSD project uses a lot of electricity for running the
development and build machines.  A number of logistical reasons
prevents us from moving the machines to another location which might
offer space/power for free, so let's not allow the conversation to go
that way. We are looking for a Canadian company who will take on our electrical
expenses -- on their books, rather than on our books.  We would be
happiest to find someone who will do this on an annual recurring
basis. That way the various OpenBSD efforts can be supported, yet written off
as an off-site operations cost by such a company.  If we reduce this
cost, it will leave more money for other parts of the project. We think that a Canadian company is the best choice for accounting
reasons.  If a company in some other jurisdiction feels they can also
do this successfully, we'd be very happy to hear from them as well. I am not going to disclose the actual numbers here.  Please contact me
for details if serious. Thanks.
