FreeBSD Developer Summit, June, 2015

This page describes the June 2015 FreeBSD Developer Summit, colocated with BSDCan 2015, which took place in Ottawa, Canada. This was a by-invitation event. FreeBSD committers were welcome to register themselves using this wiki; non-committers must be sponsored by a committer to attend. Attendees must also attend BSDCan 2015 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 sponsors 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 10th and 11th of June on the same days as the BSDCan tutorials (sorry!). Many developers will arrive on the night of the 9th 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. A two-day hackathon covering various projects will be held in parallel on Wednesday and Thursday. Additional short talks will be given during a FreeBSD Developers' Summit track at BSDCan on Friday, June 12th. The events in this track will be part of BSDCan and require a BSDCan registration. All rooms other than the hacking lounge will have AV equipment.

The Desmarais Building (DMS) is located northwest of the Residence building on Laurier Avenue.

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 DMS 1160 on Wednesday and Thursday.

The hackathon sessions will be held in room L140 in the Residence Hall. During the evenings this room will become the hacker lounge for general hanging.

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 DMS 1160 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.

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 May 9, 2015.

Travel Information

As this event is colocated with BSDCan 2015, all information on the BSDCan web page applies. Here are some suggestions that may make planning easier:

Arrival date

9th June 2015

Departure date

14th June 2015

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.
