What you may not know is that you can expect an equally excellent experience on the lesser-known CPUs. This talk will provide an in-depth look at the Loongson CPU, a mips64el CPU, on OpenBSD. We'll explore its history on OpenBSD and its support for third-party software through OpenBSD's excellent ports system. We'll examine the unique challenges that come with ports and packages on lesser-used CPUs. Finally, we'll discuss the future of MIPS support, including embedded MIPS. About the speaker: Brian is a graduate student at Monmouth University studying Anthropology. He is an OpenBSD developer, working primarily on mips64el (Loongson) ports.

I've touched many platforms and languages, going from VB on Windows to Magic on AS/400 and perl/python/php on various Linuxi and FreeBSD. I have tried to automate myself out of a job every day, which I recently discovered labels me as DevOps though I always thought 'Mad Hatter' or 'Tech Janitor' are more appropriate. * * * BSDCan (.org) is coming up next month.
