1.132 louis 379: Almost 20 OpenBSD developers showed up for the 25th anniversary of Usenix.
380: We had a vendor booth, as well as a number of papers being presented.
381: Conference attendees had the opportunity to test drive the new release,
382: OpenBSD 2.7, on the 30 workstations in the terminal room. For the first
383: time ever, the terminal room and wavelan networks also had a IPv6 connection,
1.147 jason 384: and some users even discovered so by themselves.
1.132 louis 385: Theo also held a BoF on the Wednesday evening, after which the developers

744: The router to the outside world was an OpenBSD 2.3 box. It was involved
745: in a "capture the flag" competition in which an entire room of crackers
746: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
747: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
748: <br>
749: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates
750: at <a href=http://www.monkey.org>monkey.org</a> brought 2.3
751: "wire-frame" OpenBSD t-shirts to the conference and sold almost
752: 200 of them. The proceeds from the sales were donated to the OpenBSD project.

757: Theo de Raadt presented a talk entitled
758: "Auditing software for security" about the OpenBSD security auditing
759: team's process and the lessons the team learned. The talk concentrated
760: on how our process fixes bugs -- not just holes -- since one never knows
761: when 5 bugs will act together to become a hole.

769: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
770: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
771: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
772: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
773: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
774: <br>
775: The terminal room PCs ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The
776: first style of OpenBSD t-shirt also sold quite well.
