AsiaBSDCon 2009 Plenary Talk.
Speaker: Theo de Raadt is the project leader of the OpenBSD project, and the founder of OpenSSH. He started writing free unix tools in 1988. In 1995 he convinced a bunch of strange foreigners to work with him on a security-focused unix operating system. He lives in Calgary, and has no time for a job since the OpenBSD developers consume too much of his time. He only accepts invitations to speak at conferences if excellent hiking is nearby.
Abstract:
Twelve years ago OpenBSD developers started engineering a release process that has resulted in quality software being delivered on a consistent 6 month schedule -- 25 times in a row, exactly on the date promised, and with no critical bugs. This on-time delivery process is very different from how corporations manage their product releases and much more in tune with how volunteer driven communities are supposed to function. Developer and testing laziness is mostly circumvented and leader frustration is kept to a minimum. The reasons, mechanics and social workings of our process have never been detailed outside the project, but now will be, hopefully providing some insight to others who face delays and quality issues with their own product lines.

"We are summoning forth the proletariat around the globe to aid us in this revolution [to ban Comic Sans]. We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance. By banding together to eradicate this font from the face of the earth we strive to ensure that future generations will be liberated from this epidemic and never suffer this scourge that is the plague of our time." --Revolutionary Group for the Eradication of Comic Sans from the Face of the Earth
People like that tend to come to pages like this with the mindset of "I'm a seriously intelligent dude, as evidenced by my interest in 'Operating System Technology'." And reading with frowny foreheads, they're unable to see any humor here, so rigid and determined is their need to appear so very intelligent.
I guess a showy display of rage toward Debian is what he believes will make him look "intelligent". **LOL**
I agree, the OS you use doesn't make you any more intelligent, nor do the degrees you have, jobs/titles you've held, country you were born/live in, color of your skin, or the languages that you speak.
I meet many people who speak more than one language and they think it makes them geniuses. It's unimpressive. Then they insult me in three word sentences in anything but English. What I really find funny is those who believe reading books makes them smarter than everyone else.
The logic of humor tends to be broken; it's what makes it humor
But since you've taken it seriously: Many people can't afford lawyers, CEOs vote themselves enormous salaries that have nothing to do with the market rate for their skill, computers and the internet threaten to be wonderful facilities for the authorities to track and control people, facilities that will give them unprecedented power, which will inevitably be abused.
Put your brain into high gear, mate, (it that's at all possible)
And the best part is, you can pretend the world is like this, give up cars that were ever new, your home built by corporations, payed for by the loan taken from a bank, and the rights you had protected by real estate agents, you have to farm now, because you don't own anything.
You are the stupidest person in the entire world. I truly hope you die a painful death.
I was making fun of "Revolutionaries" and the kinds of things they say. Gee, you're not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, are you?
You remind me of that saying that the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, but the ILLUSION of knowledge.
U regard things like "cars" in a superficial sense, settling on the premise that they're unquestionably desirable to our lives. But you're blind to the reality that they kill more people in the developed nations than all the conflicts in the world
I thought you were serious, there are plenty of people who think like that, and you should know by now that neither sarcasm nor satire transfer over the internet.
I don't believe myself smarter than anyone whose not a complete imbecile to begin with -- you're the one quoting and obsessing about intelligence. not that I'm any better. I'm about to reply to another of your comments. ^^
I don't drive. I don't drive cars. I see I'm not the only one here to make assumptions.

*LOL*
Well, I had to laugh at my own joke, if nobody else will.

Let's follow your extremely broken logic.
No lawyers. No legal representation. No trials.
No CEO's, no companies, no jobs, no money, no government. No computers, no internet, nothing, no buying food.
No banks. No loans, no homes. Rich investors buy and rent out homes.
No Real Estate agents mean that only people with real estate training can buy homes. That happens to be rich INVESTORS.
But since you've taken it seriously: Many people can't afford lawyers, CEOs vote themselves enormous salaries that have nothing to do with the market rate for their skill, computers and the internet threaten to be wonderful facilities for the authorities to track and control people, facilities that will give them unprecedented power, which will inevitably be abused.
