NCEE '98. October 9,10 1998. Auburn, Maine, USA.</a></strong><br>
Held at the Central Maine Technical College, Expo coordinators welcome
representatives of the opensource operating system community to
showcase their products in competition with the many commercial vendors
likewise present. Team members will attempt to highlight the defining
features of OpenBSD to attendees. We'd like to sell T-shirts and CD's
but booth staff is desperately needed. Contact

<p>
<li><strong>

Defcon V. July 11-13, 1997. Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.</a></strong><br>
At this conference, the OpenBSD team sold 100 or so 2.1 release CDROMs.
Since this is the primary security conference, many speakers said very
good things about our stance on security...

<p>
<li><strong>HOPE. August 1997. New York, New York, USA.</strong><br>
The terminal room consisted primarily of Decstation running
OpenBSD 2.1.

<p>
<li><strong>
<a href=http://www.hip97.nl>HIP. August 1997. Almere, Netherlands</a>
</strong><br>
Niels held a 
<a href=http://www.physnet.uni-hamburg.de/provos/hip97-tcpip.html>talk</a> 
about the problems of unencrypted TCP/IP connections, offering IPSEC as
possible solution.
<p>
<li><strong>
<a href=http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/sec98/index.html>
Usenix Security. January 26-29, 1998. San Antonio, Texas, USA</a></strong><br>
At this conference, Theo presented an evening talk which basically turned
into a list of fixed security problems and cautionary tales about subsystems
in which future problems may be encountered.
The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.2.

<p>
<li><strong>
<a href=http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/usenix98/index.html>
Usenix Annual Technical Conference.
June 15-19, 1998. New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.</a></strong><br>

At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
and normal tracks.  Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
project offers.  Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).<p>

The terminal room PC's ran OpenBSD 2.3.  We sold many CDROMs.  The
first style of OpenBSD t-shirt also sold quite well.

<p>
<li><strong><a href=http://www.blackhat.com>
BlackHat Sessions. July 29-30, 1998. Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.</a></strong><br>
Theo de Raadt presented a talk entitled
"Auditing software for security" about the OpenBSD security auditing
team's process and the lessons the team learned.  The talk concentrated
on how our process fixes bugs -- not just holes -- since one never knows
when 5 bugs will act together to become a hole.

<p>
<li><strong><a href=http://www.defcon.org>
Defcon VI. July 31 - Aug 2, 1998. Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.</a></strong><br>
The router to the outside world was an OpenBSD 2.3 box.  It was involved
in a "capture the flag" competition in which an entire room of crackers
attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
The OpenBSD box was not broken into.<p>

Almost 100 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again).  The primates at <a
href=http://www.monkey.org>monkey.org</a> brought the second style of
OpenBSD t-shirt to the conference and sold almost 200 of them.  The
proceeds from the sales were donated to the OpenBSD project.

<p>
<li><strong><a href=http://opensource.oreilly.com/townmeet.html>OSDD. August 21, 1998. San Jose, California, USA.</strong><br>
<img align=right border=0 src=oraonline.gif alt="[ORA Logo]"></a> 
O'Reilly and Associates Open Source Developer Days. 
OpenBSD team members will be on-hand to discuss OpenBSD's role among the
other free software projects available as well as sell CDs and t-shirts.
