#24I put a recurring $50 donation when the freeBSD controversy came and went. I hope its useful, not sure what they use the money for.
As far as I'm concerned, a single week of hackathon achieves far more than months of individual work on the side, and the hackathons take place because the foundation can bring many developers together in the same place at the same time thanks to the donations it receives :-)

#25Note that these pages are not served via https, and neither is the donations page[1] which contains links to Paypal. This has been pointed out from time to time on the openbsd "misc" email list but I've never seen a good explanation for why these pages are not secure.
