FreeBSD Developer Summit, September, 2023

This page describes the September 2023 FreeBSD Developer Summit, colocated with EuroBSDCon 2023, which takes place in Coimbra, Portugal. 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 EuroBSDcon 2023 to access all devsummit activities.

Travel

Coimbra is reached by overseas flights into either Porto (OPO) or Lisbon (LIS). Attendees that are already in Europe, trains to either city is a good choice. From LIS airport, take a local train to Coimbra. Porto may have similar train options. Check train booking sites like Rail Ninja for options and to book your ticket in advance. Coimbra has a couple hotels available at various price ranges located around the Universidade de Coimbra (University of Coimbra) venue. The local address is Paço das Escolas 3004-531 Coimbra.

Schedule

The FreeBSD developer summit takes place on the 14th and 15th of September 2023 on the same days as the EuroBSDCon tutorials. 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 EuroBSDCon 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.

Participants write down what they see as FreeBSD's key Strengths, and then select someone to write their ideas down on a whiteboard. Then we go around the room and others +1 the strengths already listed or add any new ones they have. We do the same exercise for Weaknesses, Opportunities, & Threats.
