We're now focused as a hardened human rights-focused operating system. This presentation will dive into recent developments of the OS itself along with our focus on human rights. We'll highlight some unique areas where HardenedBSD is being used in production. For Google meeting details, email to rsvp AT lists.nycbug.org, and details will be sent on the day of the meeting. More info: https://www.nycbug.org/index?action=view&id=10682 As with previous meetings we will be fielding questions and comments via IRC on Freenode #nycbug Please use the ? [Q] ? notation in the IRC for your questions so they are not overlooked. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This also means you have the tools to create more software without any external packages. This helps make the BSDs a prime development platform. Despite this, there are many other programming languages out there, some of which are even used in production! Having access to those languages provides a double benefit: 1) it opens up the richness of programming language research and implementation to all interested *BSD users; and, 2) it opens up the BSDs to aficionados of these languages. Come follow one man's never-ending quest to port every known compiler to OpenBSD. We will explore some languages you know, some you don't, and discover the tricks necessary to bring up compiler system support to new platforms. We will learn how to be a good member of the language community, how to represent well your *BSD to a language community, and how you can even accidentally end up with your name buried in the GCC source tree! For Zoom meeting details, email to rsvp AT lists.nycbug.org by noon on the day of the meeting, and details will be sent on the day of the meeting. Q&A will be via IRC on Freenode, channel #nycbug. Speaker Biography Brian sometimes speaks at NYC*BUG. You've probably heard him talk about OpenBSD ports before. He has been a developer for OpenBSD since 2013, primarily focusing on ports. Brian is a Lecturer in the IT & Web Science program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY, where he sometimes gets to teach with the BSDs!
