BSD: BGP and OpenBGPD, FreeBSD and OpenBSD

• Meet Radiant Award Recipient Claudio Jeker

  When we at ISRG think about the greatest threats to Web security today, the lack of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) security might top our list. Claudio's passion for networking, his focus on security, and his talent as a software developer are enabling him to make great contributions to fixing this and other Web security problems. In particular, he is making great contributions to OpenBSD and OpenBGPD.

• Why computers suck and how learning from OpenBSD can make them marginally less horrible

  Next I will compare this enterprise development model approach with non-enterprise development - projects such as OpenBSD, which do not hesitate to introduce binary interface and API breaking changes to improve the code.

  One of the most commonly referred to pillars of the project's philosophy has long been it's emphasis on clean functional code. Any code which makes it into OpenBSD is subject to ongoing aggressive audits for deprecated, or otherwise unmaintained code in order to reduce cruft and attack surface. Additionally the project creator, Theo de Raadt, and his team of core developers engage in ongoing development for proactive mitigations for various attack classes many of which are directly adopted by various multi-platform userland applications as well as the operating systems themselves (Windows, Linux, and the other BSDs). Frequently it is the case that introducing new features (not just deprecating old ones) introduces new incompatibilities against previously functional binaries compiled for OpenBSD.

China's Kylin forks are about to join up for new 'domestic os'

China Standard Software (CS2C) and Tianjin Kylin Information (TKC) are both tied up with the powers that be in Bejing but are, nevertheless, software titans in the land of the rising CO2 emission.

If this all sounds a bit familiar, that's because we've been down this road before - several times.
