OpenBSD 4.4 seen in the wild
It's been just a bit over a month since pre-orders for 4.4 opened up and already the first sets have been spotted in the wild (OK, on my desk).
As is commonly known, those that order early, get the set before the actual release date. Keep that in mind for 4.5 and for now, if you haven't already, please place your order right away (International, Europe).
Remember, CD sales fund the continued development of OpenBSD and CD sets are the only place for those cool stickers!
NYCBSDCon 2008 Begins at the End of the Week!
George Rosamond reminds us that NYCBSDCon is just days away:
NYCBSDCon is an annual BSD Unix technical conference organized by the New York City *BSD User Group (NYC*BUG). Don't miss this great opportunity to expand your network amid the tumultuous economic environment.
The conference schedule is packed with some of the best and brightest of the *BSD projects, with topics ranging from file systems to the portable C compiler, not to mention an array of developer and systems administrator related meetings.
Editor's Note: This is a conference I look forward to, particularly since it's really the only one in the U.S.A. that has a strong OpenBSD presence. There will be quite a few OpenBSD developers, so come out and join us for couple days of presentations (and beer).

[c2k8]:Hackathon Summary Part 10
|
c2k8 General Hackathon (Part 10) - June 7-15, 2008, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada I would like to diverge a little from past articles and give a little background on how these stories evolve and eventually get published; a little behind the scenes perspective, if you will. The output of these stories has slowed since the c2k8 hackathon. At the rate I'm going, c2k9 will be just around the corner after I'm done. |
