## Artworks of the moment

A reddish character and the OpenBSD mascot puffy staring at each other. The character is holding a computer with a RUN BSD logo on it.

## Note from the editorial team

Yet another issue late on schedule, hopefuly nobody paid for the webzine, so it's fine. When a "to become" webzine issue is accumulating too much backlog, it's getting harder to get motivated to write it without missing news. So, this one doesn't contain much information, to be on rails again for the next one. I will try to increase the automation for filling some sections, this would ease adding content like erratas or packages.
