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. https://netbsd.org/donations/ Thanking you in Advance,Humble NetBSD user Jay P.S.
