Oh that was during the last day's post-conference "social event", lateish in a bar and thing was running out of battery and crashed two times... There was a talk about it http://www.bsdcan.org/2007/schedule/events/57.en.html I had seen the presentation at FOSDEM and there was that "How Open Source Projects Survive Poisonous People", so I didn't attend. I am not going to comment more on the Software that this thing was running (the built-in camera was working;) but I don't think there is anything BSD related... Considering OFW, Sun released that under a 3 clause BSD license somewhen last year imho. -- Bjoern A. Zeeb bzeeb at Zabbadoz dot NeT
