I wonder what is the best way to determine interest in getting OpenBSD
to work on POWER8/9?
My first thought is to ask around in the OpenBSD and OpenPOWER
communities. Then to see if there is any natural rapport between them

There was a massive thread on obtaining POWER8 hardware from IBM to
support a porting of the OS three years ago. It amounted to IBM's
opensource people not seeing it as viable because of lack of demand from
their customers. I doubt this will change any time soon I'm afraid.
