    GMan00 writes "Daemon News' latest May EZine has been released online. This issue covers BSDCan which was held last weekend in Ottawa, Canada. As you'll see from the DN EZine, the conference was a great success, with some 170 developers, sysadmins and end-users from around the world. Some travelled as far away as Japan, the Ukraine and the Netherlands. Speakers included Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino of the IETF and a lead authority on IPv6 besides being the NetBSD Security Officer, Theo de Raadt of OpenBSD, Poul-Henning Kamp, the creator of the FreeBSD GEOM Disk i/o subsystem, and Robert Watson, the founder of the TrustedBSD Project. Dan Langille, the brain behind FreeBSDDiary and FreshPorts, organized the conference and is planning a repeat performance next May."

    sremick writes "After breaking the 9,000 mark in July, the FreeBSD ports collection was well on its way of crossing 10,000 by the end of 2003. Sure enough, we made it! According to freshports, the number of ports in the FreeBSD ports tree currently stands at 10,015. This little graph is also nice, though not completely current. Way to go, FreeBSD!"

    Klaus writes: "As the commit list on Freshports shows, OpenOffice 1.0.0 finally works on FreeBSD! After weeks of hard work, the team managed not only to compile the monster but to make it really run as well. Check it out, but it will take a long time to build... See the commit log here."

    QBasic_Dude writes "Freshports, a BSD-centric service similar to Freshmeat, has been upgraded to 1.1. Freshports now has 100% automation, and improved homepage, and of course, more ports."

  5. FreshPorts

    Bsd · Bsd · · posted by Nik · from the I-love-the-smell-of-fresh-ports-in-the-morning dept. · 29 comments
    Dan Langille, creator and maintainer of the FreeBSD Diary, has just unleashed FreshPorts on the world. In a nutshell, this is a changing list of new and updated ports in the FreeBSD ports tree, making it easy to keep bang up to date with new software as it's ported. It's a natural companion to Wolfram Schneider's fortnightly port update messages.
