-Some OpenBSD team members will be at this conference.
+2001 USENIX Annual
+Technical Conference, June 25-30, 2001, Boston, USA.

+
-Theo de Raadt held a BOF ("Birds Of a Feather", ie. a meeting of people
-interested in the same thing) about OpenBSD.
+
+NLUUG Najaarsconferentie 2000. November 9, 2000. Ede, NL.
+There was an OpenBSD booth where people dropped by for information or to
+get their Tshirts, polos, caps and 2.7 CDs.
+
+
+
-At this conference, the OpenBSD team sold 100 or so 2.1 release CDROMs.
+
+ApacheCon Europa 2000. October 23-25, 2000. London, UK.
+There was an OpenBSD booth where people could drop by for information and
+a chat with the local OpenBSD personnel. We also had the essentials for
+your wardrobe (Tshirts, polos, caps), for your hardware (2.7 CDs) and for your
+mind (drinks afterwards).
-Since this is the primary security conference, many speakers said very -good things about our stance on security... particularily people like -the L0phT. +
-
-The terminal room consisted primarily of Decstation running -OpenBSD 2.1. Once again, the L0phT -people had very good things to say about our security. +
-
-Niels held a -talk -about the problems of unencrypted TCP/IP connections, offering IPSEC as -possible solution. +
+
-At this conference, Theo presented an evening talk which basically
-turned into a list of fixed security problems and cautionary tales about
-subsystems in which future problems may be encountered
-(slides available).
+
+Defcon 2000. July 28-30, 2000. Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
+Kjell Wooding (our ipf maintainer), James Phillips from the
+OpenBSD Journal, and Theo de Raadt
+had a table and were selling OpenBSD CDROMs, tshirts, and posters on
+Friday and Saturday. Hordes of people visited our table and we at the
+end we were completely sold out of CDROMS and shirts (allowing us to go
+check out Hoover Dam's hardhat tour on Sunday and leave the madness behind).
+
+We were completely amazed at the people who stopped by our table, to say
+that they were relying on OpenBSD.
-The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.2. -
-At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
-and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
-project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
-OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
-ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
+
+O'Reilly Open Source Conference 2000,
+July 17-20, 2000. Monterey, California, USA.
+Ian Darwin presented a tutorial on
+
+Secure Internet Servers/Firewalls with OpenBSD, and bravely
+manned the OpenBSD booth for the remainder of the show.
+Kjell Wooding took part in a panel discussion on the Future of the BSDs,
+and spoke about
+
+Secure By Default. Both sessions were well attended, and at least
+one Linux sysadmin was seen racing for a keyboard, scared look in his eyes,
+after the security talk.
-The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The -first style of OpenBSD t-shirt also sold quite well. +
-
-Theo de Raadt presented a talk entitled -"Auditing software for security" about the OpenBSD security auditing -team's process and the lessons the team learned. The talk concentrated -on how our process fixes bugs -- not just holes -- since one never knows -when 5 bugs will act together to become a hole. -
-
-
-The router to the outside world was an OpenBSD 2.3 box. It was involved
-in a "capture the flag" competition in which an entire room of crackers
-attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
-The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
-
-Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates
-at monkey.org brought 2.3 "wire-frame"
-OpenBSD t-shirts to the conference and sold almost 200 of them. The
-proceeds from the sales were donated to the OpenBSD project.
+
-
+Almost 20 OpenBSD developers showed up for the 25th anniversary of Usenix.
+We had a vendor booth, as well as a number of papers being presented.
+Conference attendees had the opportunity to test drive the new release,
+OpenBSD 2.7, on the 30 workstations in the terminal room. For the first
+time ever, the terminal room and wavelan networks also had a IPv6 connection,
+and some users even discovered so by themselves over.
+Theo also held a BoF on the Wednesday evening, after which the developers
+had almost too much singing in foreign languages with the help of helium.

+Repeating the tradition of a similar meeting held last year, many
+OpenBSD developers from around the world converged on Calgary

+May 10-12, 2000. Robson Conference Centre, Vancouver, BC, Canada.
+Theo de Raadt spoke about why programmers keep making the same stupid mistakes,

+efforts. Rain Forest Puppy, Ron Gula (Network Security Wizards), Ken Williams (E&Y),
+March Roesch (snort/HiverWorld), and Fyodor (nmap) were among the other speakers
+at this event. (On a personal note: at this conference Theo realized that three
+leading Network Intrusion Detection System companies use OpenBSD as their
+base operating system: Hiverworld, Network Security Wizards, and NFR).
+
+
+
-At this conference, entirely devoted to IP, Niklas Hallqvist from the
-OpenBSD team held a talk on the IKE (a.k.a ISAKMP/Oakley) key management
-protocol and experiences from the implementation of isakmpd,
-an IKE implementation funded by Ericsson Radio Systems and developed
-primarily for the OpenBSD IPSEC stack.

-"Because security matters..." t-shirts, polos, and sweaters.
-
-An OpenBSD BOF was held one evening, led by Theo de Raadt.
-
-The terminal room ran OpenBSD 2.4 on 45 machines. Obviously people's
-trust in OpenBSD has increased, since numerous people who have not
-used the Usenix terminal room (due to security problems that have come
-from such use in the past) before were seen using the machines.
-
-A PalmPilot schedule loader was at the membership booth, powered by OpenBSD.
+
-
+

+Håkan Olsson & Jakob Schlyter spoke at the DNSSEC session on the 27th.
-OpenBSD was represented as one of about a dozen
-IPsec

-successful, both for the technology in general, and for OpenBSD in
-specific. We managed to communicate encrypted with every vendor present,
-and to negotiate keys via IKE with everyone capable.

+
+A dozen vendors, among them OpenBSD, tested more than 15
+IPsec
+products, both gateways and hosts, for interoperability. The tests
+were successful as far as general IPsec and pre-shared key
+authentication went, OpenBSD interoperated with everyone, but due to
+time constraints we never got to test the certificate support
+appropriately. The results were presented later that fall at a
+conference in Stockholm.
