Ugh! That sounds so final.
Especially since I gave a talk at vBSDcon two weeks ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8oKsmhwvL8 And I gave a guest lecture/lab last Friday at RPI about *BSD documentation, which resulted in 2 OpenBSD diffs and over 20 diffs to FreeBSD: https://github.com/rcos/CSCI2961-01/...r/Labs/Lab4.Md In fact, the FreeBSD Foundation asked me to give them permission to use that lab to develop a stand-alone lesson from it (which I did) and to write up a paragraph or two about the lab for the next FreeBSD Foundation newsletter. This is far from the end of the world, and I'm nothing but happy for having done OpenBSD and now I'm nothing but happy being gone from OpenBSD. In the "developer" identity. And that's OK! By the way, you'll want to change that link to http://blog.anthrobsd.net/050.html since the main site gives you the latest blog post. |

This broke my heart to such a degree that I unsubscribed from all of the lists (even misc@!), deleted all of my mail, and now I'm considering HardenedBSD.
Brian will be missed. The dream is dead. RIP. |

Thanks!
Thanks ibara, for all of your work and all of your insights, on this board and elsewhere. People you've never met are sad you're leaving, and that's pretty impressive. Happy trails and best wishes.

um, yes... funny... jokes. heh.
*sob* To be completely honest, and serious, Brian is a very good friend and was something of a mentor to me. Hearing this news (and it is quite old news by now) really shook me, and made me question the amount of time I was sinking into things related to OpenBSD. He looked out for me and it effected the way I thought about OpenBSD. Wthout bcallah@, OpenBSD is a less approachable and less relatable world. I still like OpenBSD and I'm thankful for some of the cool things that have come from it. I respect a lot of the ideas that have been yelled from the rooftops by the developers. But I also have a lot of problems with current OpenBSD, both in culture and in technology. Brian leaving made me realize that I wasn't actually that happy with it. I was pointed at HardenedBSD, tried it out, looked at some of their work. I liked what I saw, and I can see it moving to become my main operating system in the future. Their ASLR and W^X implementations are wonderful, and in some ways exceed the example set by OpenBSD. They just need to get binary base system upgrades figured out...
