Congratulatons Lads, On your new sponsorship It is good news for the OpenBSD usercommunity, great for funding of existing great initiatives or other new initiatives,
It is good news for Microsoft users if Microsoft chooses to implement great stable software such as open SSH and Libre SSL in their own product offerings, Microsoft users can benefit making software from the good quality audited code that you guys produce. I also think it is cool that Microsoft supported the foundation in such public manner... it is cool that they recognise in some way your contibution to computer users the world over... and it is cool that they showed it in cash :) PS I do hope they use Open SSH in Power Shell, :) and use Libre SSL in software that presents SSL encrytped Services ... As a user of both Microsoft and Open BSD ( I use each in very differing circumstances) Im pleased with the news... best of luck to the core developers and the guys working hard in the open BSD foundation keep up the great work, well done Sorry for writing this on Tech Mailing list :/ but felt I had to reply... -- Kindest regards, Tom Smyth Mobile: +353 87 6193172 --------------------------------- PLEASE CONSIDER THE ENVIRONMENT BEFORE YOU PRINT THIS E-MAIL This email contains information which may be confidential or privileged.
