OpenOffice2 on OpenBSD
Currently (3.9) it requires Linux Binary emulation installed manually, available only for "i386".
# uname -a
OpenBSD backupserver.hifxchn2.local 3.9 GENERIC.RAID#0 amd64
# cd /usr/ports/emulators/redhat/
# make install
===> emulators/redhat/base
===> redhat_base-8.0p8 is only for i386, not amd64.
===> emulators/redhat/libc5
===> redhat_libc5-6.2p0 is only for i386, not amd64.
===> emulators/redhat/motif
===> redhat_motif-2.1.30p3 is only for i386, not amd64.
#
HowTos - 1, 2,
Hope fully from 1 & 2 it seems that OpenBSD 4.0 will have a port for it :-)

Tuning OpenBSD for Routing with OpenBGPD at "Higher Speeds"
For Turning Kernel Options for OpenBGPD under OpenBSD generally you need to do nothing.
Henning Brauer says you need to change nothing except changing "net.inet.ip.ifq.maxlen" to "250" for routing at "higher speeds"

"pkg_add" will work over "SSH" now - from Marc Espie
There are mainly 3 ways to instal 3rd party applicatons in OpenBSD.
1) Packages - They are pre-compiled binaries that can be installed using the pkg_add(1) command.
2) Ports
3) Compile from source tarball released by the 3rd party.
To packages stored on a remote system can be installed at home using pkg_add(1) in conjunction with http or ftp or scp.
Marc Espie says "plain SCP" won't correctly and has made pkg_add(1) now to work with SSH.

Examples of Securing Software much much before others.
1) Multiple Vulnerability Issues in Implementation of ISAKMP Protocol 14 November 2005
Cisco & Juniper declared their products vulnerable. OpenBSD fixed this an year or so before.
2) Apache Format string vulnerability in the mod_proxy hook functions function in ssl_engine_log.c in mod_ssl . OpenBSD fixed this an year before mod_ssl people fixed this.
