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

1.6 deraadt 96: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 97: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
98: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
99: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 100: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
101: <p>
1.12 deraadt 102: The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The

109: "Auditing software for security" about the OpenBSD security auditing
110: team's process and the lessons the team learned. The talk concentrated

120: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
1.32 deraadt 121: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
122: <p>
1.51 deraadt 123: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates
