Oh that was during the last day's post-conference "social event",
lateish in a bar and thing was running out of battery and crashed two
times...

There was a talk about it
  http://www.bsdcan.org/2007/schedule/events/57.en.html
I had seen the presentation at FOSDEM and there was that
"How Open Source Projects Survive Poisonous People", so I didn't
attend.

I am not going to comment more on the Software that this thing was running
(the built-in camera was working;) but I don't think there is anything
BSD related...


Considering OFW, Sun released that under a 3 clause BSD license somewhen
last year imho.
