1.132 louis 1073: A couple of OpenBSD team members were there and some of the swedish user

1075: security talk, the project got applauded for its continuous strive of auditing
1076: security sensitive parts of the system.

1090: successful, both for the technology in general, and for OpenBSD in

1092: and to negotiate keys via IKE with everyone capable.

1.132 louis 1099: More than 10 OpenBSD team members showed up. By far, OpenBSD was the
1100: largest representative group from free software at the conference.
1101: Usenix gave us a table in the vendor area where we sold 2.4 CDROMs,
1102: 2.3 "wire-frame" t-shirts, and the new 2.4 embroidered
1103: "Because security matters..." t-shirts, polos, and sweaters.
1104: An OpenBSD BOF was held one evening, led by Theo de Raadt.
1105: A PalmPilot schedule loader was at the membership booth, powered by OpenBSD.
1106: <br>
1107: The terminal room ran OpenBSD 2.4 on 45 machines. Obviously trust in OpenBSD
1108: had increased since many people,normally wary of security problems of open
