    This blurb makes almost no sense. You picked the wrong sentence to copy for the story, ccparrish. Please drink more coffee before submitting a story.

    Let me help:

    A group of OpenBSD whitehat hackers are getting together in Calgary until May 20th with the goal of creating a free, state-of-the-art operating system that is entirely resilient to hacking, viruses and other cyberattacks.

    That one is better but it still doesn't make much sense. Their goal is to improve, not create, the operating system. Of course I could be wrong. Maybe the OpenBSD people are going to rewrite OpenBSD from scratch in a week or two!

    Wahoo!
