1.49 deraadt 73: At this conference, Theo presented an evening talk which basically

1.6 deraadt 86: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
1.12 deraadt 87: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
88: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
89: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
1.32 deraadt 90: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
91: <p>
1.12 deraadt 92: The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The
93: first style of OpenBSD t-shirt also sold quite well.

1.2 deraadt 98: Theo de Raadt presented a talk entitled
99: "Auditing software for security" about the OpenBSD security auditing
100: team's process and the lessons the team learned. The talk concentrated
101: on how our process fixes bugs -- not just holes -- since one never knows
102: when 5 bugs will act together to become a hole.

1.6 deraadt 108: The router to the outside world was an OpenBSD 2.3 box. It was involved
109: in a "capture the flag" competition in which an entire room of crackers
110: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
1.32 deraadt 111: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.
112: <p>
1.51 deraadt 113: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates

137: sales of shirts and CDROM's left much to be desired, we did have good

1.31 deraadt 172: Usenix donated us a table in the vendor area where we sold 2.4 CDROMs,

176: An OpenBSD BOF was held one evening, led by Theo de Raadt.
177: <p>
1.31 deraadt 178: The terminal room ran OpenBSD 2.4 on 45 machines. Obviously people's
179: trust in OpenBSD has increased, since numerous people who have not
180: used the Usenix terminal room (due to security problems that have come
181: from such use in the past) before were seen using the machines.
