This is one of the things my call for ISPs using FreeBSD was
for.  I've got many answers (privatly and public) and was
just compiling a list to contact all directly.

You have been faster in posting this than me.  What I want
to do is to make a FreeBSD development fund where companies
put up some regular donations (for example CHF 300/month or
CHF 1000/month or whatever they can afford in their budgets).
I would collect these donations and pipe it to FreeBSD committers
and fund them to work full or part-time on important FreeBSD
stuff.  Everyone who is donating will get full insight how and
where the money is spend.

With everyone donating a little bit we can make a quite useful
and stable fund.  For examples 15 companies donating 300/month
is 4500/month and gets quite a bit going.  The more you can
afford to donate the more time can be spend on development.
