The USENIX
Association
has a 25-year-long tradition of support for open
source software, independent development and open airing of issues
unfettered by stodginess or commercial interest. (Hey, we’re the
original free UNIX group!)

In continuation of this tradition, USENIX recently provided The
OpenBSD Project with a grant to underwrite the production of CDs of
its newest release. (They will be distributing the new release free
to attendees of the USENIX Annual Conference in June.)

The USENIX Board expressed eagerness to help underwrite the cost
of development, etc. for other open source software projects.
Proposals for how we can help are very welcome. Please contact
ellie@usenix.org.
