Love the release poster for this one.
- xyproto 7y agoIt can easily be misread as "OpenBSD la.la", though.
- jolmg 7y agoThat's pretty cool. I didn't know they made posters for each release. The one for 6.4 is also pretty cool.
- notaplumber 7y agoThey made professional quality release songs (and sold CD's) up until 6.0. A few extras showed up for 6.1-6.3 also. https://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html https://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html
- riffraff 7y agoI cannot understand the poster this time. I have actual problems identifying the elements: I see puffy at the top, a couple demonettes on the left, and a mask (?) in the bottom right, but everything else seems a mess. And I don't get what it refers to. Is it a reference to some pop or niche culture bit ? Is it "6.6 is almost 666, so, devils"?
- thedaemon 7y agoIt is Heavy Metal music, and yes 666. Puffy is dressed as a member of the rock band KISS.
- darkengine 7y agoIs there any way to buy a print, or get a high-quality image for printing at home? The expanded version on the website is a pretty gnarly non-animated GIF.
- Fnoord 7y agoYou used to be to buy official OpenBSD t-shirts [1] and posters at conferences such as Fosdem. I think I even got one poster for free at Fosdem cause I bought a t-shirt. But that was in 2003 or so. [1] https://www.openbsd.org/tshirts.html https://www.openbsd.org/tshirts.html
- ivl 7y agoSometimes they'll also sell the posters online. I've got my 6.0 poster (probably the best one they've done) at my desk at work.
- Mathnerd314 7y agoYou could try tweeting/DM'ing the artist: https://twitter.com/natazilla https://twitter.com/natazilla
- catalogia 7y agoIt reminds me of something I'd see in Heavy Metal magazine, when that was still a thing. It's really cool.
