1.12 deraadt 103: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
104: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
105: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 106: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
107: <p>
1.12 deraadt 108: The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The

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

118: when 5 bugs will act together to become a hole.

127: <p>
1.6 deraadt 128: Almost 100 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates at <a

191: <p>
1.31 deraadt 192: The terminal room ran OpenBSD 2.4 on 45 machines. Obviously people's

207: successful, both for the technology in general, and for OpenBSD in
208: specific. We managed to communicate encrypted with every vendor present,
