pre-orders activate for OpenBSD 5.1

Theo de Raadt — 2012-03-14T02:47:24

It is that time again.  I have just activated pre-orders for CDs,
tshirts, and posters for the 5.1 release -- due May 1.

    http://openbsd.org/orders.html
    
At the same time, I am making available the song that will come out
with the release (hmm, it is still moving out to the ftp mirrors at
the moment, but that is ok).  The song and details of it are linked
from:

    http://openbsd.org/lyrics.html

And there is something else.  Five years ago we made available an
Audio CD that contained 5 years of songs.  Well, we have made a new
audio CD since enough new songs have been made.  It is not very
expensive, so please consider buying this as well when you place any
order.  It has some rather nice liner notes.  Had some great fun
coming up with the cover for that CD:

   http://openbsd.org/images/cdaudio2.gif 
    
I'd also like you remind you that Michael Lucas new "SSH Mastery" book
is also now available, in case anyone was waiting for the 5.1 release
to place one order.

Come discuss all the BSD flavors with your peers next week at MeetBSD
California! It's on Friday and Saturday, November 5th & 6th at
Hacker Dojo, in Mountain View, California, USA.

We have an interactive Unconference on the first day. This means that
the attendees will get to decide the topics in real time.
For the second day, a more traditional format of speakers and
works-in-progress will be followed. It's highly hackable, informative,
and fun.

Of course, a legendary BSD-party featuring special guests, activities,
and entertainment will occur Saturday evening at the Dojo ;)

Thanks to our generous sponsors, the cost is only $25 USD which includes
snacks, lunches, and admission to the after-party.
