16: OpenBSD developers, users and sponsors attend trade shows and conferences,
17: give papers, and organise "Birds Of a Feather" (BOF) sessions.
18: This is an opportunity to find out more about OpenBSD or just meet like
19: minded people.

1.6 deraadt 93: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 94: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
95: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
96: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 97: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).

1.12 deraadt 99: The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The

106: "Auditing software for security" about the OpenBSD security auditing
107: team's process and the lessons the team learned. The talk concentrated
108: on how our process fixes bugs -- not just holes -- since one never knows

1.32 deraadt 118: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
119: <p>
1.51 deraadt 120: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates
