NetManager is an extensible general-purpose server product based on NetBSD with a particular focus on web-filtering and storage. Dating back to 1996 on NetBSD/acorn32, it progressed to NetBSD/cats and then to NetBSD/i386. Now it mainly targets NetBSD/amd64 on both virtual and physical hardware. This talk will discuss how the product evolved including how it is built, upgraded and maintained as well as typical use cases.
Stephen has been using NetBSD since 1995. From 1996 to 1999, he worked for Acorn Computers supporting and developing ARM RISC OS thin-client products with NetBSD servers before starting Precedence Technologies in 1999 to continue their development. Stephen has been a NetBSD and pkgsrc developer since 2007.
In his spare time, Stephen enjoys orienteering and playing bass guitar in various bands.
