NetBSD At Linuxtag

Posted by timothy on from the big-happy-family dept.

Dan writes "The Linuxtag in Karlsruhe is the biggest Linux event in Europe, and of course NetBSD was present there too! The event happened in two buildings, one for the conference, and one big exhibition area. A group of people from BSD and related projects have setup a joint booth to present NetBSD, FreeBSD and OpenBSD as well as OpenDarwin, OpenSSH and MirBSD. See Hubert Feyrer's full report for more details."

    The "bazaar" is a misunderstood and misapplied metaphor that ESR came up with once when he was drunk. It's not an anarchic free-for-all. Every time there's been an open commit policy for a project it crashed and burned.

    If you want your code in the Linux kernel, it must go through Linus Torvalds. If you want code in any official GNU project, you must sign a copyright assignment statement and follow the strict rules.

    Though it doesn't explain a lot. Looks like OpenBSD optimized for gcc 3.3 and -march=pentium, with some package and small kernel changes. Doesn't seem to have a unary guiding principle. Anyone else with more info?
