===== FreeBSD Developer Summit (Warsaw): Vendor Discussions =====

//(Add the exact date and time of your working group here.)//

==== Overview ====

This working group was organized to talk specifically about vendor relations with %%FreeBSD%%, upstreaming stuff, feature requests, consulting major hardware vendors, etc -- things that are probably most applicable to only %%FreeBSD%% consumers.  Thus we encourage every vendor who builds her products and/or services on %%FreeBSD%% to participate and possibly
give a brief presentation on the current status and problems.  This helps to address problems together with %%FreeBSD%% developers in a cooperative fashion.

  * Bring together vendors and development community
  * Generate a list of technologies needed by vendor community
  * Identify technologies that vendors can put into %%FreeBSD%%

==== Topics ====

We would like to cover the following topics.  This list is far from complete so if you feel there is something missing that you want to talk about, contact
the [[devsummit@freebsd.org|organizers]] to propose.
