Hello all NetBSD users, enthusiasts/hobbyists, retro gamers.
As 2025 draws to a close, I are reaching out to community with a request fo=
r helping The NetBSD Foundation.
Right now, The NetBSD foundation have raised $10,738 of $50,000 goal for th=
e year. The foundation need one final push to help it cross the finish line=
 and fully fund their work for the coming year.
If you donate today, your contribution will directly support critical, tang=
ible projects that keep NetBSD modern, secure, and available to everyone:
=3D> RISC-V Support: Expanding NetBSD's reach to this new, open-source hard=
ware architecture.
=3D> Wi-Fi Renewal: A massive, ongoing project to modernize our wireless ne=
tworking stack, making NetBSD more practical than ever on laptops and embed=
ded devices.
NetBSD isn't just another operating system. It is a vital part of the entir=
e technology ecosystem.In an age of planned obsolescence, NetBSD is a power=
ful force for sustainability. Foundation's commitment to running on a vast =
array of hardware=E2=80=94new and old=E2=80=94helps reduce e-waste. Old lap=
tops and single-board computers that would otherwise be in a landfill are g=
iven new life as robust firewalls, file servers, or even retro-gaming machi=
nes, all thanks to NetBSD.
The NetBSD foundation need our help to close this $39,262 gap before the ye=
ar ends.
Please consider making a year-end donation to help them continue this impor=
tant work.

Thanking you in Advance,Humble NetBSD user Jay
