#OpenBSD is in the process of finishing up our 6.3 release.

How does that work? Here are slides that Theo presented at AsiaBSDCon 2009 describing our release cycles and process.

OHH OHH, there is a youtube video of the presentation!

@phessler The only out of date parts being any mentions of pressing CDs and all packages being out on day one.

I need to watch this. I read the slides back when they were first released.

@kurtm also no more sparc packages ;)

*runs away crying*

The worst part of that? I still have sparc32 equipment.

Now I find myself considering running NetBSD on it.

@kurtm winter is almost over. you can just take them to the recycling center instead ;)

@phessler @kurtm hey, you can't do that to cute vintage hardware!

You monster.

I actually have some cool sparc stuff.

I've got a SparcStation 10SX. (It's halfway between the 10 and 20, no weird audio box needed and has the VSIMM stuff for SX graphics).

I've got a Cycle 5-IP upgraded lunchbox. It's IPX form factor with a 170mhz TurboSparc.

@kurtm Nice. Just standard issue Sparcstations here: An SS1+, a SS10 with two CPUs, and a SS5. A bunch of assorted Sbus cards too.
