FreeBSD audit source for syslog-ng

Two weeks ago, I was at EuroBSDcon and received a feature request for syslog-ng. The user wanted to collect FreeBSD audit logs together with other logs using syslog-ng. Writing a native driver in C is time consuming. However, creating an integration based on the program() source of syslog-ng is not that difficult. This blog shows you the current state of the FreeBSD audit source, how it works, and its limitations. It is also a request for feedback.

Version 4.8.1 of syslog-ng is now available

Version 4.8.1 was released recently. As you could guess from the version number change, it is primarily a bug fix release, but some minor features also slipped in. From this blog, you can learn what changed in syslog-ng 4.8.1 and where you can get its latest stable version.

Where should I present syslog-ng and sudo?

Recently I was asked the same question both at my workplace and at EuroBSDCon, the conference where I was presenting: where do you talk next? I had no definite answer. Of course, I am looking forward to the FOSDEM CfP, but I am also looking for new conferences to present syslog-ng and sudo. Do you have any recommendations?
