Mr. de Raadt:

I aided in organizing a donation drive for your OpenSSH project for the Broadband Reports website. First of all, thank you for your work on this project. I hope our donation does much to express our thanks. I noticed that when you listed us as doners on your doner page that it did not include a link to the site. May I request that the entry for "BroadbandReports" link to the following URL:

»All Things Unix

Again, thank you for your efforts. I look forward to your reply.

Sincerely,
Michael Yockey

If you haven't done so, now is the time to tender your pledge. The methods were posted earlier in this thread, but I will reiterate them here.

You may pay one of three ways:

Personal Check:
Make your check payable to: Silver Matrix LLC
Then mail it to this address:
Silver Matrix LLC
1636 third avenue, 408,
New York, NY 10128, USA

Yahoo! Store:
Purchase the proper tool point package that fits your donation. Those tool points will be removed from your account manually by Justin and the money applied to your pledged donation amount. Click the Yahoo! Store link to use this method.

Paypal:
You may also make your donation via Paypal. This page contains the link to DSLR's paypal account. I can only assume you would NOT want to use the Premium Account link for your donation, instead use the link below that ("Choose your own value...").

That all folks. I'm truly pleased to see such generosity among our group here. Thanks again!

When you "buy toolpoints" for this project, the money is turned into a donation instead of toolpoints in your account.

The toolpoints might show up in your balance for a brief moment, but they will be manually zeroed out to reflect your donation, and the corresponding money sent to the OpenSSH project.

This is simply hijacking an existing mechanism, which leads to a bit of confusion.

Steve

Maybe we should have Martin try to explain it? :-)

you don't donate via tps, you spend the pledge money and we nullify the tp record.

Are you sure about the tool points thing ?

Reading Justins post in the other thread, I got the feeling that wasn't the case.

You can donate one of three ways:

Snail mail:
Send in your donation via snail mail to the Broadbandreports.com office in New York. Personally, I'd caution against sending cash in the mail, but if you wish to send a personal check then this would be the best way.

silver matrix LLC
1636 third avenue, 408,
New York, NY 10128, USA

Tool Points:
If you wish to donate via Tool Points then you have two options, Paypal or the BBR Yahoo! Store. Those points will be nullified by dollar value rather than 1tp = $1. This page takes you to the Yahoo store and Paypal pages.

Thanks also to justin See Profile for his support both monetarily and through this site.

Lets try to keep this simple. If you wish to donate, please indicate in this thread the amount you wish to pledge. If you wish to pledge anonymously you may do so, simply logout and post in the thread as an anonymous user. This thread will be active for one week, after that you may not be able to get your name and funds attached to our donations.

Questions and comments can be IMed to me or brought to my attention via #atu on Freenode. Connect an IRC client to chat.freenode.net and /join #atu. This thread should otherwise stay clean.

Any amount you can afford is welcome. Thanks again to all who have shown interest and to everyone who pledges!

I'll begin with a pledge of $50.
