The OpenBSD Journal is an online newspaper dedicated to coverage of OpenBSD software and related events.

History

The OpenBSD Journal was founded in 2000 and operated until 1 April 2004 at deadly.org. On 1 April 2004 the editors James Phillips and Jose Nazario announced that the site ceased its operation.[2] Daniel Hartmeier backed up the contents of the journal in order to preserve them.[3] Further investigation to the articles' structure lead to creation of CGI-based engine that would enable access to the deadly.org's content on a backup server. Consequently, the functionality of adding new articles was implemented and the previous editors allowed to re-publish articles. The OpenBSD Journal was therefore reintroduced at undeadly.org on 9 April 2004.[4]

The role in OpenBSD community

The OpenBSD Journal is widely recognized as a reliable source of OpenBSD-related information.[3][5][6] It is a primary reporter for such events as Hackathons. The site also hosts the OpenBSD developers' blogs.
