CDS> What are your thoughts on both NetBSD and FreeBSD's new logos?
Theo> I really like how they make absolutely no statement at all.
I just want to say that I totally agree with that. I believe the symbol of a project should hold some type of signifigance. The symbol is going to be associated with your project; what does the symbol convey?

I was on the CeBIT and talked to OpenBSD customers, everybody loved puffy, the young ladies, the nerds, the business people.
I'm happy to have Ty doing all this Puffy-things.
Yours,
Wilhelm

The OS excels in another areas and should look for a professional look. I also noticed the bias on this website. If anyone talks less good (not to say bad) about any thing OpenBSD related gets modded down.
All and all, and the current state of affairs shows us that OpenBSD should look for a better presentation and start maturing at another levels. I'm pretty sure Theo and the others are the best programmers for the job, but for marketing and generating "momentum" and money are not so good. Look for professionals in this areas. The project would win for sure. No one can be good at everything. Look at Microsoft. Their OS is what we know, but they have a pretty good "comercial" department. I don't want that for OpenBSD, to be some Microsoft Corp. clone, but I want this project to become all it can be!
Also, the idea that if OpenBSD seeks sponsors or partnerships the system will become a slave of them... that's just bullshit. There is more than one way to get things done. Just sit down, set goals and boundaries. Everyone in the real world does that!

When I spoke about winning was not some horse race against any linux distro or windows! I'm to old and tired of the same bull* to enter stupid and immature flame wars. What I meant is that the OS must be competitive! I'm pretty sure you will agree on that. If not, I'm pretty sure all of us professionals will take our business some where else. As plain as simple.
In the big picture I tried to "draw" is that OpenBSD must, and I repeat must, mature in another areas. It already excels in his main purpose, but to grow even further, some other steps must be taken and look for professionals or cooperations with third parties (companies, individuals, whatever) that are also the best at what they do. Look at the current funding problem. That is compromising the real growth of the project.
I'm not trying to bad mouth OpenBSD, just trying to help by putting some ideas on the table.

The language behind the little daemon in the old logo is exactly the same behind the current OpenBSD logo. Cartoonish!

If it's anything like what came out of the OpenSSH one, I can hardly wait.

Way to go FreeBSD. Once again smashing my hopes and expectations.
