similar to: Still Fundraising for FreeBSD security development

Dear FreeBSD users, Slightly more than three years ago, I released FreeBSD Update, my first major contribution to FreeBSD. Since then, I have become a FreeBSD committer, joined the FreeBSD Security Team, released Portsnap, and become the FreeBSD Security Officer. However, as I have gone from being a graduate student at Oxford University -- busy writing my thesis -- to a researcher at Simon

Hi all, You may not know, but The Software Freedom Conservancy is the legal home of the Samba project. However, most Linux-using corporations *really* hate GPL enforcement. To the point where they'll pull funding for diversity programs and try and get conference talks cancelled. I hope Samba users will help support Conservancy so it can continue doing vital work for us and other projects.

All, I would like to thank the latest donor to the CentOS project: Neosurge.com. We have a nice new, shiny server to help get all those updates out faster. http://www.neosurge.com/ Neosurge has plenty of hosting options from normal website hosting to dedicated / co-located servers. And I can vouch for the speed of the traffic into the datacenters. You can definitely get CentOS pre-installed

Well, I *tried* to CC: freebsd-security...

Kickstarter has proven its efficiency, many games and other programs were sponsored and created because of crowd funding. So, why not to use it for Wine? There are some major missing and complex features like D3D10/11 support and there are games like Battlefield 3 that only support DX10. Implementing these libraries would allow running other new games as well. I propose hiring fulltime developers

WPLink is a non-profit organization that want to help a group of amateur radio people and other poor people that want to learn PHP or mySQL. WPLink will be going through some updates in the next months. For the upgrade to happen, we need to raise a certain amount of money, since we personally cannot and do not have the necessary funding. I have all hardware without this items, that badly needs

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, A short time ago a "local root" exploit was posted to the full-disclosure mailing list; as the name suggests, this allows a local user to execute arbitrary code as root. Normally it is the policy of the FreeBSD Security Team to not publicly discuss security issues until an advisory is ready, but in this case since exploit code is

Here's another project for us. We'll want to upgrade to 6.3-RELEASE in May.

This is a local denial of service bug, which was fixed 6 weeks ago in HEAD and RELENG_6. There is no opportunity for either remote denial of service or any privilege escalation. >

That /. shit is indeed VERY annoying :( (FreeBSD dead WTF!!) But if I have to convince a customer why to choose for FreeBSD, I always use Yahoo! as an example. They got some ridiculous traffic and that site is ultra fast. They always buy that :D So for now i dont need an audit > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Devon H.

Dear list, Many people seem unhappy with the new documentation server because you need to have R running to access it, and it's not immediately obvious how to bookmark references so they work long-term. One solution to this problem is to have a globally available website that provides access to all package documentation. I'm happy to have a go at developing this, but I need some money to

The FreeBSD Security Officer would normally be sending out this email, but he's a bit busy right now and it is clear from reactions to FreeBSD Security Advisory FreeBSD-SA-04:04.tcp that many people are unaware of the current status of the RELENG_5_1 branch, so I'm going to send out this reminder myself. The branches supported by the FreeBSD Security Officer have been updated to reflect

All, Anyone who wishes to donate to the project can follow the directions for sending a check here: http://llvm.org/Funding.html If you can only pay by PayPal or credit card, PLEASE write to Vikram Adve (vadve at uiuc.edu) and ask him to update that page with the alternate payment details. FYI: while the T-Shirts provided at the meeting were "free", they were offered in the hope

Hi, We aee looking to locate a machine in osuosl (www.osuosl.org) on Internet 2, to make syncs to our I2 mirrors faster. If anyone has a machine spare they would be willing to donate to the project we would be grateful. Donor would get listing on CentOS website. Alternatively any spare components that we could build a machine ourselves from would be appreciated. Spec not important -
