1.132 louis 1069: More than 10 OpenBSD team members showed up. By far, OpenBSD was the
1070: largest representative group from free software at the conference.
1071: Usenix gave us a table in the vendor area where we sold 2.4 CDROMs,
1072: 2.3 "wire-frame" t-shirts, and the new 2.4 embroidered
1073: "Because security matters..." t-shirts, polos, and sweaters.
1074: An OpenBSD BOF was held one evening, led by Theo de Raadt.
1075: A PalmPilot schedule loader was at the membership booth, powered by OpenBSD.
1076: <br>
1077: The terminal room ran OpenBSD 2.4 on 45 machines. Obviously trust in OpenBSD
1078: had increased since many people,normally wary of security problems of open
1079: terminal rooms, were seen using the machines.
