FreeBSD Developer Summit, May, 2010

This page describes the May 2010 FreeBSD Developer Summit, colocated with BSDCan 2010 in Ottawa, Canada. This was a by-invitation event. FreeBSD committers were welcome to register themselves using this wiki; non-committers had to be sponsored by a committer to attend. We highly encouraged attendees to also attend BSDCan 2010.

The information on this page is historical.

Sponsors

Our annual BSDCan developer summit would not be possible without the generous support of sponsors.

BSDCan provides logistical support, including organizing rooms for the event and for developers to stay in. BSDCan also covers board and travel for all BSDCan speakers. FreeBSD developers can help support the summit by speaking at BSDCan! You can also help support BSDCan and the developer summit by encouraging people to attend the conference, and especially to attend tutorials.

The FreeBSD Foundation covers travel expenses for several attendees. You can help support the FreeBSD Foundation by donating.

Bug List

A list of target PRs to work on during the devsummit can be found here.

Schedule

The FreeBSD developer summit takes place on the 11th and 12th of May, on the same days as the BSDCan tutorials (sorry!). Many developers will arrive on the night of the 10th and meet for dinner and drinks before things kick off. Most developers will stay on through BSDCan to give and attend talks. It is an excellent conference--a good FreeBSD developer showing has countless benefits, not least the opportunity to tell the world what we're doing.

Detailed Schedule

All sessions will be held in a large lounge on the residence ground floor. AV equipment will be available. Additional rooms in other floors of the residence will be used for breakout sessions. These additional rooms will not have AV equipment.

Please arrive by 9:45am for the morning sessions so that we can get started around 10:00am. Attendees will be able to pick up badges and T-shirts from 9:30am to 10:00am each morning.

Please add additional BoF topics here and below -- it's up to you to figure out how to keep busy during the afternoons, and a bit of planning ahead will allow people to think about the topics you want to discuss in advance!

Topic Sessions and Topic Hacking

These sessions are intended to get developers with common areas of interest or specific projects in mind together for collaboration and hacking. They might involve prepared presentations, structured code reading, or a notebook-assisted whiteboard session. Advance preparation for such events is critical so everyone comes to the table with the right reading done so you can get to the meat of the matter.

Travel Information

As this event is colocated with BSDCan 2010, all information on the BSDCan web page should apply. Here are some suggestions that may make planning easier:

Arrival date

10th May 2010

Departure date

15th May 2010

Travel method

If traveling from outside Ottawa, fly into Ottawa's international airport (YOW), possibly transferring in Toronto (YYZ). Air Canada partners with United Airlines, and has direct flights from many US cities and London Heathrow (LHR) as well as Frankfurt (FRA) into Ottawa.

Visas

Many attendees will be able to use the Visa Waiver program, but check before traveling. If you need a formal invitation letter (never hurts), let us know.

Where to stay

Stay in the university residence halls, or if you really want a hotel, Les Suites. The university residence has two-person suites with private bedrooms but a shared bathroom and kitchenette, and is both clean and comfortable, as well as on-site for the summit.

Remember that you must separately register for BSDCan (but only if you are not a BSDCan speaker); visit the BSDCan web page for details.

Information on Prior Developer Summits

Information on prior Developer Summits is available from the DevSummit page.
