This invitation-only %%FreeBSD%% Developer Summit takes place at %%EuroBSDcon%% 2014, located in Sofia, Bulgaria. %%FreeBSD%% committers are welcome to register themselves using this wiki; non-committers have to be sponsored by a committer to attend. ===== EuroBSDcon 2014 ===== [[http://2014.eurobsdcon.org/|EuroBSDcon 2014]] takes place between September 25 — 28, 2014. All attendees are encouraged to attend %%EuroBSDcon%%, as well as present their work. The conference is located at the Inter Expo Centre (IEC), Sofia, Bulgaria. Remember that **you must separately register for %%EuroBSDcon%%** (but only if you are not a %%EuroBSDcon%% speaker); visit the %%EuroBSDcon%% web page for details where you can register once it is open. (//The information on this page is still subject to change; please check back for updates.//) ====== Sponsors ====== The %%EuroBSDcon%% developer summit would not be possible without the generous support of sponsors. [[http://www.eurobsdcon.org/|EuroBSDcon]] provides logistical support, including organizing rooms for the event and for developers to stay in. %%EuroBSDcon%% also covers board and travel for all %%EuroBSDcon%% speakers. %%FreeBSD%% developers can help support the summit by speaking at %%EuroBSDcon%%! You can also help support %%EuroBSDcon%% and the developer summit by encouraging people to attend the conference, and especially to attend tutorials. The [[http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/|FreeBSD Foundation]] covers travel expenses for several attendees. You can help support the %%FreeBSD%% Foundation by [[http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/donate/|donating]]. ====== Travel Information ====== ===== Approaching Bulgaria ===== [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sofia_Airport|Sofia International Airport]] (SOF) is well served from LHR, FRA, CDG, AMS, etc. From the airport, a taxi to the centre of Sofia should cost less than 20 BGN. Book a taxi from the designated stands near the exits from the airports. Be aware that taxi companies with very similar names hover in the same areas, but may charge far more. ===== Approaching the Event site ===== The devsummit is being held at the Inter Expo Centre (IEC) on the South-East outskirts of Sofia. The IEC is on Metro Line 1, it is the final station in the direction signposted "Младост (Mladost)". Note that some metro trains turn around at Mladost rather than continuing to the venue - use a train showing a destination of "Цариградско шосе". ===== Visas ===== A visa will not be required from many countries, however, some attendees may need to apply for a Visa, [[https://web.archive.org/web/20180218132026/https://www.mfa.bg/uploads/files/VisaRegime_for_foreigners_ordinary_passports_en.pdf|please check before traveling]]. If you need a formal invitation letter (never hurts), let know. More details are on the [[http://2014.eurobsdcon.org/travel-and-stay/#visa|EuroBSDCon visa page]] on the EuroBSDCon2014 website. ===== Accommodation ===== //(List some of the recommended accommodations here.)// **It is strongly advised to book the hotel as soon as possible.** ====== IRC ====== Note that many of attendees of the summit hang out on ''%%#devsummit%%'' on [[http://www.efnet.org/|EFnet]] during the event (as well as the conference itself). Feel free to join! ====== Schedule ====== The developer summit spans three days, with a mixture of hacking, group meetings, and presentations. The first part takes place on September 26—27 on the same days as the %%EuroBSDcon%% tutorials, while the second part on September 28 runs in parallel with the main conference. However, many developers will probably arrive by the night of the 24th and meet for dinner and drinks before things start. 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 are doing! ===== Rough Schedule ===== The current general plan is as follows.

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. Submit your proposals to which shall include an abstract and number of slots needed. (1 slot = 90 minutes) It also expected to do a brief presentation on the results in the Developer Summit Track on Saturday.

(1 slot = 20 minutes) (**Submission is open, accepted proposals are added continuously.**) //(Do not edit this section yourself unless asked to.)// ^ Title ^ Speaker ^ Description ^ Slides, Notes ^ ==== Notes ==== If you are in trouble with preparing your slides, you could use the {{DevSummit/201409/slides-template.zip?linkonly|template}} attached to the page. It contains a %%LaTeX%% source file that you can modify to create PDF slides for the %%FreeBSD%% Developer Summit. It uses the [[http://bitbucket.org/rivanvx/beamer/wiki/Home|Beamer class]] which is an easy-to-use extension to %%LaTeX%% for making presentations. You can easily install it by the following command (as root): # pkg install latex-beamer This will install **Beamer** and **pdfLaTeX** that can be used for compiling the sources to produce the desired PDF file. $ pdflatex my-presentation.latex Or you can use the %%LibreOffice%% / %%OpenOffice%% {{DevSummit/201409/slides.otp?linkonly|template}} (contributed by [[/BaptisteDaroussin|BaptisteDaroussin]]). A few rule-of-thumbs when creating slides: * Try to make things legible, use large fonts. * Have title and closing. * Use less text, you do not have to include everything on the slides. (Prepare and) Do a demonstration if needed. * You have only a limited amount of time, having only 1 slide per minute (in addition to title and closing) is usually fine. * Sometimes images can tell more than pure text. * Discussions and meetings are the place where you might want to talk about the details. Contact if you have questions or problems. ====== Registration ====== In order to attend, you must register in advance; this allows us to size rooms, order food, provide beverages, and make dinner reservations.
