History

OpenBSD Journal was found in 2000 and operated until 02004-04-01 April 1, 2004 at deadly.org. On 02004-04-01 April 1, 2004 the editors James Phillips and Jose Nazario announced that the site ceases its operation.[2] Daniel Hartmeier backed up the contents of the journal in order to preserve the contents.[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. So, the OpenBSD Journal was reborn under the current address on 02004-04-09 April 9, 2004.[4]

The role in OpenBSD community

The OpenBSD Journal is listed as one of two "blessed" third-party resources in the OpenBSD's FAQ.[5] It is widely recognized as a reliable source of OpenBSD-related information.[3][6][7]

The OpenBSD Journal is a primary reporter for such events as Hackathons. The site also hosts the OpenBSD developers' blogs.
