Just to make the call to action a little more direct, the donation link is here:

- mukundmr 13y agoThanks. Made a donation.
- annasaru 13y agoDone. Reading this is sad.
- deleted 13y ago[deleted]
- gommm 13y agoThanks, just donated, I use openssh every day so it just makes sense.
- romland 13y agoWow. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I had no idea OpenSSH fell under the OpenBSD umbrella! It certainly makes very good sense for me to donate now!
- nzp 13y agoMost FOSS projects with the name pattern OpenXYZ fall under the OpenBSD umbrella in one way or the other.
- fulafel 13y agoDoubtful, it's a really common pattern (opencv, opencollada,OpenOffice, opensolaris etc etc)
- nzp 13y agoNote: OpenXYZ, not OpenSomethingSomething. Anyway, OpenBGPD, OpenOSPFD, OpenNTPD, OpenSMTPD, OpenSSH, OpenIKED. OK, so it's more like OpenABCD and I should probably have written "many" instead of "most". :)
- pwenzel 13y agoJust donated to support the project as well.
- bjelkeman-again 13y agoYes, did too. We need things like this to counter the evil clowns that try to take over our internet.
- scott_s 13y ago[scott_s@local ~] history | wc -l 500 [scott_s@local ~] history | grep ssh | wc -l 191 Donated.
- switch007 13y agoGreat point. OpenSSH is rock solid and it and underpins many, many other projects and businesses. I don't think it's going too far to say that companies making heavy use of (i.e. profit from) OpenSSH are obligated to donate.
- pjjw 13y agomany do by employing the openssh maintainers to do that. it's the best way to contribute to openssh without contributing to theo.
- TkTech 13y agoGrep has a -c flag :) $ history | grep -c ssh 380 Donated.
- chongli 13y agoThe shell history really ought to have some sort of de-dupe feature. Too many lines of history get taken up by duplicate entries!
- nolok 13y agoIf you use bash, have a look at HISTIGNORE and HISTCONTROL.
- m0shen 13y agoUse HISTCONTROL=erasedups in your .bashrc http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#index-HISTCONTROL http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#index-H...
- zshhasoptions 13y agotry adding setopt HIST_SAVE_NO_DUPS to your .zshrc you could also have a look at HIST_FIND_NO_DUPS and HIST_IGNORE_ALL_DUPS (more options at http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Options.html http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Options.html ) If you still use bash, now is a good time to upgrade to zsh
- virtualwhys 13y agoDonated, thanks for openssh the reminder.
- stock_toaster 13y agoSame here. Donated as well.
- bayesianhorse 13y agoMaybe they should rename to OpenSSH Foundation then ...
- bluekitten 13y agoThanks for the link. I donated as well. Isn't OpenSSH used by a lot of companies? $20,000 a year would be extremely trivial for many companies where it is widely used, without even splitting it among them. Doesn't Apple ship OpenSSH by default? Wish they would step in.
- ibdknox 13y agoIf the maintainers of that page are around here, I suggest putting some visualization of how close you are to the goal on there. It's amazing how much of a psychological motivator a bar filling up is.
- jlgaddis 13y agoSomebody from the Foundation said on misc that they were going to do that.
- gtirloni 13y agofrom the First or Second one? Sorry, couldn't resist.
- moocowduckquack 13y agoAre you working for the Mule?
- zimbatm 13y agoJokes seldon get my approval on HN but this on does.
- hahainternet 13y agoI believe my terrible pun will make you cry, sis.
- simonebrunozzi 13y agoLOL :)
- nl 13y agoWrong license: http://www.mulesoft.org/licensing-mule-esb http://www.mulesoft.org/licensing-mule-esb
- ajaymehta 13y ago
- JSno 13y agoAsian donation is negligible?
- tobiasu 13y agoI don't think so. The foundation probably doesn't have anyone anywhere in Asia with a bank account that can receive Paypal donations. The idea is to save transaction costs, not limit donations to certain parts of the world.
- untitledwiz 13y agoJust donated as well.
- dataminer 13y agoThanks done, OpenSSH is an indispensable tool.
- gommm 13y agoOff topic, bluekitten it seems you've been hellbanned and your message show as dead. Looking at your comment history, I can't imagine what triggered it, so if you see this it might be a good idea to send an email to pg.

- alberth 13y agoThere seems to be a trend that most *BSDs are having donation problems and missed 2013 budgets. For example [1], [2] I encourage all to donate to our BSD friends. We all benefit from their work. [1] https://www.freebsdfoundation.org https://www.freebsdfoundation.org [2] http://www.netbsd.org/donations/ http://www.netbsd.org/donations/
- rgbrenner 13y agoThe FBSD goal for 2011 was 400k (raised 460k). 2012 was for 500k goal. 2013 is 1M goal. They've raised almost 750k the last time that page was updated..
- ygra 13y agoMakes me wonder, though. There are plenty of fairly large commercial offerings based on those systems. The corporations using them (e.g. Sony, Apple) could probably easily afford a million in donations.
- rodgerd 13y agoThe could, but the license leaves them equally able to say "fuck you very much" on donations or code.
- pjmlp 13y agoThat is the wonders of the BSD license and others that follow the same principles, profit for free from the work of others without giving anything back.
- Sssnake 13y agoWow, GPL zealots sure are direct with their dishonesty these days.
- msbarnett 13y ago> That is the wonders of the BSD license and others that follow the same principles, profit for free from the work of others without giving anything back. Does any Open Source license require monetary donations from companies using the code? Sony and Apple and a lot of other companies using BSD licensed software DO give back -- in the form of code and employing developers to work the projects.
- lectrick 13y agoIs there any way I can order them some LED lighting gear?
- ninjin 13y agoSince PayPal won't accept donations from where I live (Japan), here is an alternative way of donating through the Calgary Computer Shop: https://https.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/order https://https.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/order Having just donated I would like to say that the man pages are wonderful. I like them so much that I have a oman alias and made a quick (and dirty) script to fetch them. https://github.com/ninjin/ppod/tree/master/hck/openbsd_manpages https://github.com/ninjin/ppod/tree/master/hck/openbsd_manpa... Try them out when coding C or when writing portable shell-scripts, they are a blessing. There is also the official web interface: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi
- kriro 13y agoHuge +1 to the quality of OBSD man pages being awesome
