The project motto is "security by default", its goal is to provide secure system for everyone. Unfortunately, Gentoo/OpenBSD port is dead. In addition, previous work hasn't reach satisfactory level. My proposal is to bring Gentoo/OpenBSD back alive and make the system useful, Gentoo flavored, secure and robust, as a personal server platform. This project is targeted on people who: * use both Gentoo and OpenBSD systems and miss Gentoo flavor on OpenBSD (and vice versa). * use OpenBSD and want to manage their system in Gentoo way. * want to use OpenBSD benefits (eg. Packet Filter) on Gentoo. * are looking for secure, stable system and want to try something new. * want to mix OpenBSD security features with Gentoo portage and customization. * know OpenBSD already and want to learn Gentoo. * are just curious. :) Gentoo/OpenBSD will provide most security features from OpenBSD, including i.a. systrace, W^X, Packet Filter. Opposite to Gentoo-Hardened, all features in Gentoo/OpenBSD will be targeted for the BSD systems. Kind regards, Mateusz Kocielski
