+This software is free, on the count of three:
+update to six dot eight.
+
+Hacker people! Hacker people!
+
+What's the deal, what's still real?
+Ground yourself with truth.
+Run a software that allows you to sleuth.
+Only that what's open can be true.
+Full transparency is best for me and you.
+
+Hack the planet,
+search to see what makes it tick,
+makes it panic.
+
+if I fool your time you are mine.
+if I hide what you should see,
+your routing is debris.

+Hack the planet,
+search to see what makes it tick,
+makes it panic.
+Together we are openbsd,
+everyone update to 6.8!

+Like the movie "Hackers", the OpenBSD project is now 25 years old. +Though the movie played no part in our focus on security. +
+What a ride it's been. +
+My little hobby project took itself both too seriously, and not +seriously at all. Then somewhere along the way the project started +collecting many seriously skilled developers who found it a +"fertile ground" to play and experiment. (To counter that, maybe they +didn't find other places as interesting, or didn't want to write +independent software which wasn't being adopted). +
+The "fertile ground" I'm talking about is our willingness to throw away +the old and replace it, or try to adopt or build security protections, +or integrate pieces normally not part of a unix system (such as the +extensive network components). The OpenSSH story comes from the same +approach. +
+In doing so, we didn't annoy too many people because we stayed true to +the spirit of old BSD unix. It feels like modernized SunOS 4.0, +trying to be highly cohesive complete system where all the parts are +supposed to work similarily, and if they don't, we consider changing them. +The ifconfig command has been extended greatly, but it remains :-) +
+Strangely, along the way our work started influencing the whole +software industry. The packet filter pf is included in some systems. +Our libc work is in other places. OpenSSH, privsep, and W^X and +address space randomization and other hardenings are either ubiquitous +now or inching that way. Pieces of our work are in nooks and crannies +everywhere, while the cohesive whole OpenBSD continues to be developed +apace. +
+Another 25 years? +
