Hi Shawn,

Sadly, not able to make it to Canada this year, but for the last week or =
so since your announce I've been nudging along builds of OPNSense on =
ARMv8, via beaglebone boards, building from FreeBSD 11-ALPHA2 images.  =
Nothing special since the base ARM work comes from stock FreeBSD, I'm =
just compiling it.

My last build started yesterday, which apparently incorporates your =
HardenedBSD work as well, exciting to see all this work coming together!

So far so good, burning some micro-SD media to get the job done, so it =
just takes *time* ;)
Will happily give a shout when I have successful serial images built.

Best,
.ike
