<a href="http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix2000/">Usenix Annual Technical 
Conference.</a></strong>,
Jun 18 - 23, 2000, San Diego, California, USA<br>
Almost 20 OpenBSD developers showed up for the 25th anniversary of Usenix.
We had a vendor booth, as well as a number of papers being presented.
Conference attendees had the opportunity to test drive the new release,
OpenBSD 2.7, on the 30 workstations in the terminal room.  For the first
time ever, the terminal room and wavelan networks also had a IPv6 connection,
and some users even discovered so by themselves.
Theo also held a BoF on the Wednesday evening, after which the developers
had almost too much singing in foreign languages with the help of helium.

<a href="reprints/crypto2000.html">OpenBSD Crypto 2000 conference</a></strong>,
Jun 15 - 20, 2000, Calgary, AB, Canada<br>
Repeating the tradition of a similar meeting held last year, many
OpenBSD developers from around the world converged on Calgary
for a weekend long hack-and-drink session.  As before, the event
was invitation only.  Many significant things got done, including
ipv6 + ipsec running over hardware crypto devices.
<p>

<li><strong>
<a href="http://www.converge2000.com">CONVERGENCE 2000</a></strong>,
May 18, 2000. Convention Centre, Calgary, Alberta, Canada<br>
Theo de Raadt participated in a panel discussion about the pros and cons
of using Open Source software in various business environments.  The local
users also handed out OpenSSH and OpenBSD posters, and were absolutely
surprised and amazed by the number of Calgary companies quietly using
OpenBSD.
<p>

<li><strong>
<a href="http://www.cansecwest.com/">CanSecWest</a></strong>,
May 10 - 12, 2000. Robson Conference Centre, Vancouver, BC, Canada<br>
Theo de Raadt spoke about why programmers keep making the same stupid mistakes,
what types of efforts might improve this, and how this all relates to auditing
efforts.  Rain Forest Puppy, Ron Gula (Network Security Wizards), Ken Williams (E&Y),
Marty Roesch (snort/HiverWorld), and Fyodor (nmap) were among the other speakers
at this event.  (On a personal note: at this conference Theo realized that three
leading Network Intrusion Detection System companies use OpenBSD as their
base operating system: Hiverworld, Network Security Wizards, and NFR).

IPsec Interoperability tests</strong>,
Sep 27 - 30, 1999, Stockholm, Sweden. (in swedish)<br>
A dozen vendors, among them OpenBSD, tested more than 15 
<a href=http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ipsec&sektion=4&format=html>IPsec</a>
products, both gateways and hosts, for interoperability.  The tests
were successful as far as general IPsec and pre-shared key
authentication went, OpenBSD interoperated with everyone, but due to
time constraints we never got to test the certificate support
appropriately.  The results were presented later that fall at a
conference in Stockholm.
<p>

Security</a></strong>,
Aug 23 - 26, 1999, Washington, DC, USA<br>
Many OpenBSD people from the east coast showed up and sold CDs and
shirts.  It was pretty clear from discussions that many people were
very aware of OpenBSD, and that OpenBSD was being used in very
significant security roles.
<p>

Some OpenBSD team members were at this conference selling OpenBSD 2.5 CDs,
OpenBSE T-shirts, as well as Blowfish T-shirts, which sold out very quickly
at a table donated by the Expo.  OpenBSD was the only BSD represented at the
vendor exposition, and we had good chance to present a secure alternative
to Linux.
<p>

<li><strong>
<a href=http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/99mar/index.html>44th IETF 
meeting</a></strong>,
Mar 15 - 19, 1999, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA<br>

<a href="http://www.europen.se/NordU99">NordU99 -- The first 
EurOpen/USENIX Conference</a></strong>,
Feb 9 - 12, 1999, Stockholm, Sweden<br>
A couple of OpenBSD team members were there and some of the swedish user
society as well.  OpenBSD CDs were sold at a booth and at the end of a
security talk, the project got applauded for its continuous strive of auditing
security sensitive parts of the system.
<p>

<h3>1998</h3>

<li><strong><a name=ipsec98></a>
<a href=http://www.netman.se/kurs/96.html>IPsec/VPN Interoperability
tests &amp; seminar</a></strong>, 
Dec 14, 1998, Stockholm, Sweden (in swedish)<br>
OpenBSD was represented as one of about a dozen
<a href=http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ipsec&sektion=4&format=html>IPsec</a>
implementations who were tested for interoperability.  The tests were
successful, both for the technology in general, and for OpenBSD in
specific.  We managed to communicate encrypted with every vendor present,
and to negotiate keys via IKE with everyone capable.
<p>

<li><strong><a name=lisaboston-98></a>
<a href=http://usenix.org/events/lisa98>LISA '98: 12th Systems Administration 
Conference</a></strong>,
Dec 6 - 11, 1998, Boston, Massachusetts<br>
More than 10 OpenBSD team members showed up.  By far, OpenBSD was the
largest representative group from free software at the conference.
Usenix gave us a table in the vendor area where we sold 2.4 CDROMs,
2.3 "wire-frame" t-shirts, and the new 2.4 embroidered
"Because security matters..." t-shirts, polos, and sweaters.
An OpenBSD BOF was held one evening, led by Theo de Raadt.
A PalmPilot schedule loader was at the membership booth, powered by OpenBSD.
<br>
The terminal room ran OpenBSD 2.4 on 45 machines. Obviously  trust in OpenBSD
had increased since many people,normally wary of security problems of open
terminal rooms, were seen using the machines.
<p>

<li><strong>
<a href="http://www.asc.unam.mx/disc98">DISC - Seguridad en 
C&oacute;mputo 98</a></strong>,
Nov 2 - 7, 1998, Mexico City<br>
Theo de Raadt gave a talk about security auditing, sponsored by
<a href=http://www.core-sdi.com>CORE SDI S.A.</a>, an Argentine
security auditing company who strongly believes in the future
of OpenBSD. (<a href=papers/mexico98-slides.ps>Slides are available</a>).
<p>

<li><strong>IP-dagarna</strong>, 
Oct 29, 30 1998, Stockholm, Sweden (in swedish)<br>
At this conference, entirely devoted to IP, Niklas Hallqvist from the
OpenBSD team held a talk on the IKE (a.k.a ISAKMP/Oakley) key management
protocol and experiences from the implementation of <strong>isakmpd</strong>,
an IKE implementation funded by Ericsson Radio Systems and developed
primarily for the OpenBSD IPSEC stack.
<p>

<li><strong>
<a href="http://www.nceexpo.com/">NCEE '98</a></strong>,
Oct 9 - 10, 1998, Auburn, Maine, USA<br>
An extensive after-action report was sent to advocacy@openbsd.org. While
sales of shirts and CDROMs left much to be desired, we did have good
opportunities to further project visibility and highlight its strengths.
<p>

<li><strong>
<a href="http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/conference">Reflections/Projections 
1998</a></strong>,
Oct 2 - 4, 1998, Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, USA</br>

Associates Open Source Developer Days</a></strong>, 
Aug 21, 1998, San Jose, California, USA<br>
OpenBSD team members were on-hand to discuss OpenBSD's role among the
other free software projects available. They also sold some CDs and t-shirts.
<p>

<li><strong><a name=defcon98></a>
<a href=http://www.defcon.org/html/defcon-6.html>Defcon VI</a></strong>,
Jul 31 - Aug 2, 1998, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA<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.
<br>
Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again).  The primates
at <a href=http://www.monkey.org>monkey.org</a> brought 2.3
&quot;wire-frame&quot; OpenBSD t-shirts 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://www.blackhat.com>BlackHat Sessions</a></strong>,
Jul 29 - 30, 1998, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA<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 name=usenix-neworleans></a>
<a href=http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/usenix98/index.html>Usenix Annual Technical Conference</a></strong>,
Jun 15 - 19, 1998, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA<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).
<br>
The terminal room PCs 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.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/sec98/index.html>Usenix Security</a></strong>, 
Jan 26 - 29, 1998, San Antonio, Texas, USA<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
(<a href=papers/security98-slides.ps>slides available</a>).
<br>
The terminal room PCs ran OpenBSD 2.2.
<p>

<h3>1997</h3>

<li><strong>
<a href=http://www.hip97.nl>HIP</a></strong>, 
Aug, 1997, Almere, Netherlands<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>HOPE</strong>, 
Aug, 1997, New York, New York, USA<br>
The terminal room consisted primarily of DECstations running
OpenBSD 2.1.  Once again, the <a href=http://www.l0pht.com>L0phT</a>
people had very good things to say about our security.
<p>

<li><strong><a name=defcon5></a>
<a href=http://www.defcon.org/html/defcon-5.html>Defcon V</a></strong>, 
Jul 11 - 13, 1997, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA<br>
At this conference, the OpenBSD team sold 100 or so 2.1 release CDROMs.
<br>
Since this is the primary security conference, many speakers said very
good things about our stance on security... particularly people like
<a href=http://www.l0pht.com>the L0phT</a>.
<p>

<li><strong>
<a 
href=http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/ana97/index.html>Usenix Annual Technical Conference</a></strong>,
Jan  6 - 10, 1997, Anaheim, California, USA.<br>
