OSVDB needs the support of everyone to succeed. Using osvdb.org,
referencing vulnerabilities in reports for clients, and spreading
the word about OSVDB is a great way to help the project. However,
we also have a strong need for volunteers to donate time to help
the project succeed.

the reasons our current contributors work on the project:
