Indeed, it is well worth the read; downloading it requires neither registration nor the employment of JavaScript.

OpenBSD sticker considered cool by a layman
Some (cute) girl yesterday who doesn't understand computers at all pointed at my laptop and asked where did you get this damned cool sticker? It was the wireframe Puffy. People also tend to stare at Puffy when I use my laptop on the bus. I think this confirms that the stickers are really good design. I also have an O'Nell sticker on my laptop (surfing company). I guess it means that O'Neill with their undoubtedly huge budget are #2 in coolness here. Would it be possible to make a sticker with this picture, but with the small letters removed and the large ones all in one size? http://openbsd.org/images/tshirt-23.gif I would like to have the OPENBSD label under Puffy so people know what this is, put it into google etc. But don't want the details, cause they sound a bit like an advert. I am glad that I can proudly put OpenBSD stickers on my stuff without feeling like an infantile nerd, which would definitely happen with the Linux logo. Personally, the feeling or message I am getting from these stickers is we're not sloppy, we want to do everything well, including graphics design. In marketing terms, it makes an impression that OpenBSD has a good corporate identity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_identity). CL

Speaking as an OpenBSD developer, I can assure you that OpenBSD would become much less attractive to spend time on if it was run like a company. I think what we produce (software and and other stuff) is high quality because we like what we do. Having fun (yes, developing is a weird kind of fun for me) is important to me. Take away the fun factor and OpenBSD falls apart. -Otto

Speaking as an OpenBSD developer, I can assure you that OpenBSD would become much less attractive to spend time on if it was run like a company. I think what we produce (software and and other stuff) is high quality because we like what we do. good corporate identity != run like a corporation The corporate in corporate identity should be taken literally. Or rather, the metaphor should be divested of any associations with private, profit-seeking organizations. A good corporate identity is about clarity of message; there's no reason that message can't be what OpenBSD is really about. In my view OpenBSD has an excellent identity and message - clear, narrow focus on a small and easily understandable set of concepts (security by default, unencumbered, quality, etc.) and a variety of well-designed and executed graphic images unified by a well-chosen icon. In fact the great virtue of that is that it obviates the need for top-down discipline in getting the message out. Anybody who wants to evangelize the unwashed will have no problem figuring out what message to convey. No reason to fear that. -g
