102: distributions...
103: <li>After lunch, Marc Balmer started the afternoon with a talk "OpenBSD
104: as a Strategic Platform for the Basle Public Schools", outlining how and
1.485 mbalmer 105: why the Basle Public school system uses OpenBSD for most of its
1.484 mbalmer 106: infrastructure.
107: <li>The next OpenBSD specific talk was by Claudio Jeker, "Routing with
108: OpenBSD using OpenOSPFD and OpenBGPD" where he showed various routing
109: setups and how full redundancy can be achieved.
110: <li>Later, Marc Balmer gave a talk "Decoding Time Signal Stations using
111: OpenBSD" and explained the recent addition of timedelta sensors and the
112: first implementation of such, udcf(4).
113: </ul>
114: <br>
115: All talks where very well received and OpenBSD filled four hours of the
