Enlightening.  Long thread short: OpenBSD funds are in short supply, 
and there are pressing needs like the (electric bill for the build 
systems, etc...)

Not sure that NYC can help very easily, but Theo is looking for some 
large corp to pick up the electric bill- directly.  (Interesting 
approach.)

If you care about ssh, pf, OpenBSD, there's one other great way to 
relieve this:
