Hi tillsense,
of course, 3mdeb will be there with exciting stuff and demos, booth 3-563:

1. New network appliance supporting Open Source Firmware - still waiting for the customer to confirm I can openly speak about that.
2. 2 demos of Open Source Firmware fast boot
3. Cool hypervisor and firmware tricks

More information will be published on our twitter (https://twitter.com/3mdeb_com) so stay tuned :)

interesting (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=11781.0), I already thought so with the two found websites.

Because Protectli representatives see value in Open Source Firmware for their customers.

Have you got any suggestions about other hardware platforms for which porting to Open Source Firmware would benefit OPN sense community? TBH creating reasonable selection criteria is beyond 3mdeb at this point - we are not professional network appliance experts, but we are pretty sure that correct firmware support can bring benefits to network appliance world.
