I had the pleasure ofsitting with Bob Beckat EuroBSDCon2018 in Bucharest and asking him some questions about theOpenBSD Project, its approaches and some of his favouriteaspects of the Operating System and its projects. Bobpatiently outlines the hows and whys of his involvementin the BSD project.

Tom and Bob conduct a post-mortem on a training course onLibTLS Bob Delivered (excellently) in EuroBSDCon & BSDCAN.Bob discusses what online services he used in class fortraining students on LibTLS and why it can be a veryeffective teaching aid.

Bob modestly plays down his ability to churn out LibTLS Developers.Bob also gives guidance on the approaches to contributing to the project.

Bob reveals the code he least likes working on and why.

Bob lets us know what he really thinks about documentation and its value to the community.

Bob outlines an example of applying lessons learned from one bug to inform audits looking for similar bugs elsewhere in the OS and the software ecosystem that it supports.

I enjoyed making the interview with Bob who answered thequestions with a remarkable combination of purpose and humour.

Bob thanks again for your time, and putting up with myinterruptions and jokes :)
