From: The OpenBSD Foundation Contact: directors@openbsdfoundation.org Date: May 28, 2008 THE OPENBSD FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES SUPPORT FOR C2K8 CONFERENCE The OpenBSD Foundation is pleased to announce that it has completed arrangements with the University of Alberta in Edmonton to host the 2008 Annual OpenBSD Developer's Conference (C2K8 Hackathon) from June 7 to June 15, 2008.
The facility support from the University of Alberta Computer Science Department will provide C2K8 the best facilities yet for the annual OpenBSD Developer Conference. C2K8 will be the 10th annual event of its kind. Previous hackathons have produced tools such as the PF firewall, OpenBGP, relayd and spamd, as well as innumerable critical improvements to OpenBSD, OpenSSH, and related projects. This year, the OpenBSD Foundation will disburse approximately $15,000 to support C2K8, enabling more than 50 OpenBSD developers from around the world to attend this important event. The Foundation thanks all who have generously donated the resources to make C2K8 possible. The OpenBSD Foundation relies on donations of money and equipment from corporations and individuals to make events like this one possible. If you or your organization are interested in making a contribution, please contact us at: directors@openbsdfoundation.org. -30-
To ensure that the OpenBSD Foundation can continue to arrange productive events like these, please have your company donate to the foundation and support the project.

Also thanks for the reminder, I will prod my employer to donate again this year. I've also made a small personal donation to C2K8, but that is nowhere near the amount required to organize an event of this scale (and mostly intended as drinking money anyway ;).
Keep up the good work !
