<title>Welcome!</title>
<b>Welcome to OSSP, the world of Unix Software Technologies<i>!</i></b>
<p>
OSSP is a fully non-profit <a href="http://www.opensource.org/"><b>Open
Source Software</b></a> project, founded by <a
href="http://www.engelschall.com/">Ralf S. Engelschall</a> in
1998. The goal is the implementation of high-quality Unix software
components, ranging from <a href="$(ROOT)/pkg/lib/sa/">networking</a>,
<a href="$(ROOT)/pkg/lib/pth/">multi-threading</a> and <a
href="$(ROOT)/pkg/lib/act/">algorithmic</a> libraries to <a
href="$(ROOT)/pkg/tool/lmtp2nntp/">networking</a> servers and <a
href="$(ROOT)/pkg/tool/shtool/">development</a> tools.
<p>
OSSP itself actually can be considered a meta-project, consisting of
numerous <a href="$(ROOT)/pkg/"><b>projects</b></a>. Each project is
a solution to a particular problem and usually released separately. At
a later stage, all sub-projects together could form something like a
<i>Next Generation Internet Server Platform</i>.
<p>
To implement such a lot of high-quality Unix software components
requires a great amount of time and man-power. So OSSP puts really a
lot of private work on its idealistic developers, but nevertheless
makes all of its results freely available to the interested public.
Without <a href="$(ROOT)/com/sponsors.html"><b>sponsoring</b></a> through <a
href="$(ROOT)/com/donations.html">donations</a> from many individuals
and companies all this would be not possible, of course.
