* NetBSD at the 20th Chaos Communications Congress

The NetBSD Project had space at a joint BSD booth at the 20th Chaos
Communications Congress in Berlin this year, together with FreeBSD,
OpenBSD and MirBSD. Aparently there were 2342 visitors to the congress,
which featured a wide variety of workshops and presentations from both
technical and social areas. There was one talk about a status report on
NetBSD by me (Hubert Feyrer), a second talk on using pkgsrc on Solaris,
Linux etc. was cancelled, unfortunately.

Some impressions:

One of the main attractions at 20C3 was the Blinkenlights project, a
skyscraper front turned into a monitor with the windows being the pixels.
Here are a few movies:

Enjoy, and see you all at 21C3[*]!
