FreeBSD Hackathon - 3-4 January, 2015

There's a semi-informal-ish hackathon scheduled for the 3rd and 4th of January (Saturday/Sunday), 2015.

It's at the Norse Offices, 1825 South Grant St, San Mateo, CA. From 10:30am to whenever-we-decide-to-wrap-it-up each day.

A bunch of FreeBSD people have some hacking to do.

• Tyan released it's POWER8 development/reference platform, and we have one. (http://openpowerfoundation.org/press-releases/tyan-launches-its-openpower-customer-reference-system/). Nathan and Justin plan on bringing FreeBSD-HEAD up on it.
• DragonflyBSD runs on the Chromebook C720 and there's now patches against FreeBSD-HEAD to do the same. Adrian and maybe others will bring up FreeBSD-HEAD on the C720 (minus Haswell graphics for now :( ) and work out the kinks so it can be committed to FreeBSD.
• Adrian may bring FreeBSD-HEAD up on the QCA955x SoC so FreeBSD can run on the newer generation of Atheros based wifi access points.
• Sean Bruno will bring some MIPS hardware along and hack on the FreeBSD/MIPS wifi access point project stuff.

There may be some impromptu Raspberry Pi platform hacking too.

Anyone wishing to actively hack on a FreeBSD project.

• Adrian Chadd (Stuff..)
• Sean Bruno (MIPS/ARM, wifi, package-building)
• Nathan Whitehorn (POWER8)
• Justin Hibbits (POWER8)
• Chris B (Raspberry Pi FreeBSD)
• Craig Rodrigues (Jenkins, automated testing)
• jmg@ (tentative)
• hiren@ (tentative)
• David Discher (FreeBSD on Acer Chromebook C720)

Please let adrian@ know if you're coming and not on this list.

Drinks and chips. We'll do a sandwich order for lunch.

Email adrian@freebsd.org and ask nicely. It's at his employers offices, so it's not open to the public and you have to ask first before you can participate.
