I'm delighted to see this finally happen! I've been told by fairly reliable sources that there's a hackathon in Toronto from 29 May to 5 June. I suspect that the auction winner could get their book signed by a whole pubload of developers. We could delay shipping the book to the winner, or perhaps let the winner ship the book to someone in Toronto. (Personally, I'd like to see the devs sign whatever part of the book they worked on. Preferably in red ink. With notations like "Wrong! pf.conf(5) and newaliases(8) together clearly imply otherwise" or "I'm redoing this for 5.4, ignore this chapter.") In any event, bid early. Bid often. When we auctioned off "Absolute FreeBSD," the FreeBSD Foundation got about $600. Frankly, I expect the OpenBSD community to crush that puny record. Now I get to sit back and watch the fun... ==ml -- Michael W.
