While looking for a lightweight window manager to run on my small laptop screen, as well as something that would be (hopefully) smaller and more secure, I came across heliwm ("helium").
http://www.cc.rim.or.jp/~hok/heliwm/
No mouse controls, everything is controlled by keystroke, etc.
I then use xloadimage to add a pretty background image, and 9menu to allow me to lauch apps at random, and xsetroot to match the X cursor to my color scheme (cyan), with clear aterms w/ cyan foreground.
Works for me.

He has commit access to three bsd's and is a tireless advocate/worker on ipv6 for them.
He posts regularly to users@ipv6.org and other forums.
In terms of advancing free software outside of the US (where ipv6 adoption is still emerging), this is pretty important. You aren't going to run free software if it can't network properly.
He has also worked on Magic Point and other free software projects.
Time to brush up on my spanish. The best of all worlds: foreign travel, lucrative work, and a fast paced challenging work environment. Only one thing seems to haunt this scenario: if I munge the backups will I get a "columbian necktie"?

If you are in San Francisco there is the San Francisco OpenBSD Users Group. Security minded and so-on.
If none exists, start one.
