    I will also be glad to help with packaging.

    O+P is already running a repo on pkg.oetiker.ch but we have not widely publicized it.

    My main use of omnios is as a server for kvm an lxzones, so I would also be willing to help with porting updates from joyent unfortunately I have no experience with this at
    all.

I think there has been an unhealthy focus on how much money people are willing to pledge without considering who would even be willing to accept that money for their time. Those willing might not require payment at all.
