+ OpenBSD 3.9: Blob-Busters Interviewed, OnLAMP, April 27, 2006
+
+ Federico Biancuzzi interviews several of the developers on improvements
+ in 3.9: the continuing absence of "blob drivers", IPMI and sensors, apmd performance
+ adjustment, Macs, rthreads, multicast, trunk, hostapd, and more.
+ jsg clarifies the issue of "binary blob" drivers vs "firmware, and
+ discusses the NVIDIA nForce Ethernet driver he did after NVIDIA did refuse
+ to give out documentation; they can't stop us, but they can slow us down.
+ The result: "There aren't any drivers in OpenBSD with binary-only components;
+ this is quite a contrast to pretty much everyone else out there."
+ marco comments on the IPMI work in 3.9, and adds:
+ "IPMI is a standard, but there are vendors out there
+ that have reading comprehension issues..."
+ A long list of other developers explain their contributions
+ and other changes that make 3.9 one of our best releases yet.
