Sponsorships from Solido Networks

Solido Networks use a lot of Open Source as part of our business critical infrastructure - which is why we sponsor a lot of associations and software developers. This page is meant as a suggestion for others to support open source.

Who have we supported with money/gifts

Below you will find a list over some of the sponsorships that we donate to.

OpenBSD

We use OpenBSD as one of the primary operating system on critical infrastructure servers, we try to give a donation regularly at each release.

OpenBSD develops a lot of relevant software components like PF, OpenBGPD and of course OpenSSH. OpenSSH alone is used in more than 100 distributions of UNIX-ilke operating systems.

How much do we donate? Usually we give about EUR 100 and buy t-shirt and CD. Plus specific donations to various projects like buying a new server or other hardware for sub systems on OpenBSD.

OWASP

Solido Networks support OWASP and have paid $500 to this project in July 2007.

Linuxforum - Open Source Days

Solido Networks support Open Source Days conference in Copenhagen.

EuroBSDCon

We supported EuroBSDCon 2007 which was in Copenhagen - we donated 15.000 DKK.

BackTrack (Auditor Security Collection)

We have previously supported Auditor Security Collection with a Soekris which was listed on the wish list for the developers. From time to time we send some donation money to BackTrack and promote the project in various ways like handing out 100 copies nicely packaged at Linuxforum 2007.

Currently we both donate money from time to time and support the project by spreading the word and copies of the software.
