 == GTK 3 migration ==
 
 This project ballooned, and I had to abandon it in order to get more pressing things done. #16715 and #16716 document some of what I found.

+== OpenBSD port ==
+
+Porting Pidgin 3 to OpenBSD was a valuable experience. OpenBSD builds with strong compiler hardening and loads executables with strong ASLR and memory sanitization, so memory corruption bugs that usually fly on other platforms are often exposed. I found at least four of these, three of which I've already fixed upstream.
