	    <desc><![CDATA[

		<p>

		The fourth annual <a

		href="http://www.pkgsrccon.org/2007/">pkgsrcCon</a> is

		April 27-29 in Barcelona. As might be expected when

		brains congregate, pkgsrcCon traditionally results

		in a flurry of activity toward new directions and

		initiatives.  Mere hours after returning to New

		York, Amitai will give us a recap of <a

		href="http://www.pkgsrccon.org/2007/presentations.html">the

		proceedings</a>, including his presentation,

		"Packaging djbware."

		</p>

		<p>

		<a href="http://www.schmonz.com/">Amitai Schlair</a>

		is a pkgsrc developer who has worked in such diverse

		areas as Mac OS X platform support and packages of

		software by Dan Bernstein. His full-time undergraduate

		studies at Columbia are another contributing factor

		to his impending insanity. He consults in software

		and IT.

	    <title>OpenBSD 4.1 Release Song - Puffy Baba and the 40 Vendors</title>

	    <desc><![CDATA[

		<p>

		As developers of a free operating system, one of

		our prime responsibilities is device support. No

		matter how nice an operating system is, it remains

		useless and unusable without solid support for a

		wide percentage of the hardware that is available

		on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising

		that more than half of our efforts focus on various

		aspects relating to device support.

		</p>

		<p>

		Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel,

		through to libraries, all the way up to X, and then

		even to applications) use fairly obvious interface

		layers, where the "communication protocols" or

		"argument passing" mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be

		understood by any developer who takes the time to

		read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional

		and significant challenge though: because many

		vendors refuse to document the exact behavior of

		their devices.  The devices are black boxes. And

		often they are surprisingly weird, or even buggy.

		</p>

		<p>

		When vendor documentation does not exist, the

		development process can become extremely hairy.

		Groups of developers have found themselves focused

		for months at a time, figuring out the most simple

		steps, simply because the hardware is a complete

		mystery. Access to documentation can ease these

		difficulties rapidly. However, getting access to

		the chip documentation from vendors is ... almost

		always a negotiation. If we had open access to

		documentation, anyone would be able to see how

		simple all these devices actually are, and device

		driver development would flourish (and not just in

		OpenBSD, either).

		</p>

		<p>

		When we proceed into negotiations with vendors,

		asking for documentation, our position is often

		weak. One would assume that the modern market is

		fair, and that selling chips would be the primary

		focus of these vendors. But unfortunately a number

		of behemoth software vendors have spent the last

		10 or 20 years building <a

		href="http://www.openbsd.org/papers/brhard2007/mgp00024.html">political

		hurdles against the smaller players</a>.

		</p>

		<p>

		A particularly nasty player in this regard has been

		the Linux vendors and some Linux developers, who

		have played along with an American corporate model

		of requiring NDAs for chip documentation. This has

		effectively put Linux into the club with Microsoft,

		but has left all the other operating system communities

		-- and their developers -- with much less available

		clout for requesting documentation. In a more fair

		world, the Linux vendors would work with us, and

		the device driver support in all free operating

		systems would be fantastic by now.

		</p>

		<p>

		We only ask that <a

		href="http://www.openbsd.org/papers/brhard2007/mgp00027.html">users

		help</a> us in changing the political landscape.

		</p>
