FreeBSD Developer Summit, June, 2017
This page describes the June 2017 FreeBSD Developer Summit, co-located with BSDCan 2017, which took place in Ottawa, Canada. This was 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 2017 in order to access all devsummit activities.

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

BSDCan
BSDCan provides logistical support, including organizing rooms for the event and for developers to stay in. BSDCan also covers board and travel for 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.
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 7th and 8th of June on the same days as the BSDCan tutorials (sorry!). Many developers will arrive on the night of the 6th 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 10th. 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.

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.

Travel Information
As this event is colocated with BSDCan 2017, all information on the BSDCan web page applies. Here are some suggestions that may make planning easier:
Arrival date |
6th June 2017 |
Departure date |
11th June 2017 |
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. Note that starting in 2017, non-Canadian/US citizens who are visa-exempt need an Electronic Travel Authorization when flying into Canada. |
Where to stay |
The university residences are having a problem with getting a booking code over to BSDCan. Looks like Extended Stay Ottawa is the cheapest negotiated rate. Watch the BSDCan Accommodations page for updates. |
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.

Mobile 3G/4G SIM cards
Rideau Centre is a short walk from the University of Ottawa Campus. There's a large number of shops (brand shops and independent) where you can get a SIM Card. In general you'll have to pay for the SIM-card separately (ca. 10CAD) plus the plan you want.
At the WirelessWave, I managed to talk the lady into giving me the SIM for free with a Fido 150MB plan for 10CAD. YMMV...
