Having an impact and feeling the weight of it

Hi folks,

Here, the number of meetup groups are rising, for various topics ; but just for IT matters, there is either ones which cover wide range of points some much more specific (related to a programming language, even a specific framework). Prove that people will always need to reunite face to face ; even more for technologies ... "ironically". They are mostly interesting in general even though I distantiate myself from it a little, at least at the moment.

Speaking of communication, finally the work I did for porting a subset of LLVM/compiler-rt to OpenBSD get noticed and some people reached me out about this. You kind of expect this, but in the same time catch you "out of guard" nevertheless :-) That proves it had been useful doing so, that solves real problems and grows a little bit the toolbox of the OpenBSD developer ...

To go on this, finally the first half of esan for FreeBSD had been committed, still waiting the frontend part thought to be fully usable ; in the meantime I spent few hours to abstract/refactor the php openssl module which seems to be an accepted idea, still wait to be merged then I will expand on this idea further more all of this, hopefully, for the future 7.4 release.

Also ... I had another take on nginx/njs recently after the little sandbox contribution. Basically improving a bit the crypto module. You can see the summary here ... Apart of this, the usual ... little video games fixes here and there.

This is it for now, waiting for late autumn releases (FreeBSD 12, php 7.3 and so on).
