1.132 louis 777: Some OpenBSD team members were at this conference selling OpenBSD 2.5 CDs,
778: OpenBSE T-shirts, as well as Blowfish T-shirts, which sold out very quickly
779: at a table donated by the Expo. OpenBSD was the only BSD represented at the
780: vendor exposition, and we had good chance to present a secure alternative
781: to Linux.

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

1.132 louis 820: More than 10 OpenBSD team members showed up. By far, OpenBSD was the
821: largest representative group from free software at the conference.
822: Usenix gave us a table in the vendor area where we sold 2.4 CDROMs,
823: 2.3 "wire-frame" t-shirts, and the new 2.4 embroidered
824: "Because security matters..." t-shirts, polos, and sweaters.
825: An OpenBSD BOF was held one evening, led by Theo de Raadt.
826: A PalmPilot schedule loader was at the membership booth, powered by OpenBSD.

828: The terminal room ran OpenBSD 2.4 on 45 machines. Obviously trust in OpenBSD
829: had increased since many people,normally wary of security problems of open
830: terminal rooms, were seen using the machines.

882: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
883: <br>
884: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates

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

1.132 louis 902: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
903: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
904: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
905: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
906: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
907: <br>
908: The terminal room PCs ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The
909: first style of OpenBSD t-shirt also sold quite well.
