The '''''OpenBSD Journal''''' is an [online newspaper](/source/online_newspaper) dedicated to coverage of [OpenBSD](/source/OpenBSD) software and related events. The ''OpenBSD Journal'' is widely recognized as a reliable source of OpenBSD-related information.<ref name="onlamp-reborn" /><ref name="the-book-of-pf" /><ref name="absolute-openbsd" /> It is a primary reporter for such events as [Hackathon](/source/Hackathon)s. The site also hosts the OpenBSD developers' blogs.

== History ==
The ''OpenBSD Journal'' was founded in 2000 and operated until 1 April 2004 at {{code|deadly.org}}, On 1 April 2004 the editors James Phillips and Jose Nazario announced that the site ceased its operation.<ref name="deadly-announce" /> Daniel Hartmeier backed up the contents of the journal in order to preserve them.<ref name="onlamp-reborn" /> Further investigation to the articles' structure lead to creation of [CGI](/source/Common_Gateway_Interface)-based engine that would enable access to the deadly.org's content on a backup server. Consequently, the functionality of adding new articles was implemented and the previous editors allowed to re-publish articles. The ''OpenBSD Journal'' was therefore reintroduced at {{URL|undeadly.org}} on 9 April 2004.<ref name="undeadly-about" />
