The best way to help OpenBSD is to help Theo de Raadt. The best way to do that is to buy CD's. Buy a CD and request no CD delivery. Buy many CD's with this intent. Buy a CD and have it shipped to Theo. (not ideal but an option) Theo does not like to admit it, understandably, but the main funding of Theo de Raadt's expenses is paid for by CD sales. If you want OpenBSD to continue to exist *BUY* *CD's*. If you want the most secure binaries and to help the OpenBSD project BUY CD's! SWIFT and the Foundation fund things like Hackathons. (I welcome corrections if I am am wrong) Those things are great. CD sales support Theo de Raadt directly. ELECTRICITY Property taxes Mortgage Food Beer All sorts of other ESSENTIAL expenses. We do not want Theo to have to get a commercial job. That would prevent him from being able to direct the OpenBSD project. If that happened then OpenBSD would cease to exist. BUY CD's It's really not that complicated. P.S. Theo de Raadt is an asshole. :) P.P.S. but if you care about OpenBSD that shit is irrelevant. ;)
