As reported previously, the NetBSD Foundation made a call for donations a few months ago. This was widely publicized, and the open source community responded generously, donating almost $30000,- (E25500,-). As also previously noted, this money was earmarked for specific purchases, and the NetBSD Project would like to let its users know what in particular was bought from these donations. Please see Thor Lancelot Simons detailed summary for information regarding what was bought, the current status and a long list of people that made all this possible.

dude, choosing your OS because of the dev's is just wrong;). Glad people dont think *i* have a jones for bill or linus or steve jobs. Go with netbsd if you wanna run the same system accross multiple werid platforms or a little server type system. It can be used for the desktop etc, but freebsd as much better support in that area.
Nice builds guys, thanks for the info too, it just made my main system look like a ibm xt!

NO IT'S NOT. (sorry for the yelling)
It makes perfectly economical sense.
If the devs live in your neighborhood, maybe you have the best tech support available for the smallest price tag.
And IME FreeBSD and NetBSD are tied -- both in average server performance and in desktop comfort. I would untie by developers, before untying by "neatness of code" (where NetBSD also wins).
