FreeBSD Developer Summit, May, 2014

This page describes the May 2014 FreeBSD Developer Summit, colocated with BSDCan 2014, which will take place in Ottawa, Canada. This is a by-invitation event. FreeBSD committers will be welcome to register themselves using this wiki; non-committers must be sponsored by a committer to attend. Attendees must also attend BSDCan 2014 in order to access all devsummit activities.

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 several expenses including rooms for the event. In addition, the FreeBSD Foundation also covers travel expenses for several attendees. You can help support the FreeBSD Foundation by donating.

Tarsnap sponsored the T-shirts for this event.

IRC

Many of the developer summit attendees hang out on #devsummit on EFnet during the summit (as well as BSDCan itself).

Schedule

The FreeBSD developer summit will take place on the 14th and 15th of May on the same days as the BSDCan tutorials (sorry!). Many developers will arrive on the night of the 13th 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

Working group sessions will be held on Wednesday and Thursday. Additional short talks will be given during a FreeBSD Developers' Summit track at BSDCan on Friday, May 16th. The events in this track will be part of BSDCan and require a BSDCan registration. All rooms will have AV equipment.

Montpetit Hall (MNT) is located across the street from the Residence building behind the University Center. Morisset Hall (MRT) is located across the street from the eastern end of the parking lot beside the Residence building.

Please arrive by 8:45am for the morning sessions so that we can get started around 9:00am. Attendees will be able to pick up badges and T-shirts from 8:00am to 9:00am at MNT 202 on Wednesday and Thursday.

The hacker lounge for general hanging out during the evenings will be in room L140 in the Residence Hall. The dinner on Wednesday evening will also be in this room.

Note: In order to attend a working group meeting you MUST contact the working group organizer and be approved to attend. The goal is to keep each working group small and focused.

Lunch will be served in MNT 202 on both Wednesday and Thursday.

Working Groups

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.

Talk Descriptions

Just high level ideas. Tell us about your latest project, brainstorm on solutions to a hard problem, train us to use a new tool, make observations about a FreeBSD development process and how to improve it, tell us how your company uses FreeBSD, or coordinate activities. Please do not duplicate a talk that you are giving at BSDCan. Each talk will be given a thirty minute slot.

Talk

Speaker

Description

Flash in FreeBSD

WarnerLosh

A developer's oriented view of the current state of NAND Flash support in FreeBSD. The current NAND flash support is somewhat dated and missing a number of features that are needed to support more modern NAND. In addition, there are serious stability problems and architectural issues with the higher levels. This talk will discuss what's supported today, what isn't supported today and what needs to be added/improved. This is a more focused on the state of FreeBSD NAND support talk than my conference talk and can be tweaked in any way that helps it fit into the summit.

SPEC testing NFS under FreeBSD

CraigRodrigues

CraigRodrigues

OpenStack and OpenContrail for FreeBSD host

Michal Dubiel

Update about FreeBSD as a fully supported compute host for OpenStack, using OpenContrail virtualized networking.

Lightweight reference counting

GlebSmirnoff

A mechanism that would allow to reference count pointers w/o use of mutexes, atomics and critical sections.

FreeBSD and NetFPGA

BjoernZeeb

NetFPGA-10G is a 4x10Gbit/s flexible, open, research platform. You'll hear about my ongoing journey to make it work with FreeBSD out of the box, as well as some available features.

Attendees

In order to attend, you must register in advance; this allows us to size rooms, order food, and provide beverages. We appreciate your cooperation in letting us know your plans well in advance of the event. Non-committers must be sponsored by a committer in order to attend. Due to increased attendance in recent years, companies are limited to one non-committer unless permission is explicitly granted by the organizers. Registration will close on April 20, 2014.

Travel Information

As this event is colocated with BSDCan 2014, all information on the BSDCan web page applies. Here are some suggestions that may make planning easier:

Arrival date

13th May 2014

Departure date

18th May 2014

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.

Extra rooms to share at the university residence halls

Remember that you must separately register for BSDCan (even if you are 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.
