• The EuroBSDCon 2006 Devsummit is being held on Thursday (9 Nov 2006) at DSI (see below), and Friday (10 Nov 2006, parallel to the tutorials) at Novotel.
• How to reach the DSI in 3 easy steps:
  1. wherever you are, enter the subway (“Metropolitana”)
  2. reach LODI TIBB (subway line nr. 3 - yellow line)
     1. on foot: it takes about 10 minutes, walk along viale Umbria and turn left at via Comelico
     2. by bus: take bus nr. 92 (direction: Bovisa) and get off at the second stop (via Comelico)
• When at DSI, ask the guy at the entrance, he will redirect you.

Here is the current schedule. Please add yourself to the list if you are going to present something.

Here goes the list of participants to the devsummit. Please add yourself to the list if you are going to attend the devsummit. Please indicate which days you can/would attend the summit for, and also if you plan to attend the conference proper.

Notes relating to individual meetings and sessions are in this section.

In this session, we'll present on and discussion the on-going investigation of VCS choices for FreeBSD. Ollivier will lead presenting on Mercurial; hopefully we can get Nik and CLK there in person to talk about SVN/SVK. The goal of this meeting is not to make a decision, but to give the advocates of particular systems a chance to describe their features and demonstrate workflow.

Pawel will demonstrate ZFS on FreeBSD, discuss the FreeBSD porting work, and his plans for the future. He will also present on gjournal, a storage framework for supporting block level journaling of file systems (including UFS).

Other things to discuss, probably in a working group session rather than presentation session:

• Distributed audit support
• Audit and MAC
• Getting AUDIT into GENERIC
• MAC and IPSEC
• NFSv4 ACLs
• Discuss potential new areas of TrustedBSD work, such as privilege models

It would be useful to discuss:

Other points for discussion, possibly in smaller working groups:

• Finishing the move to if_startmbuf now that multi-queue issues are understood.

Linimon will hold a workshop for discussing where we are and where we are going. Of particular interest are going to be the state of ports on amd64, as that architecture becomes more and more prevalent.

We know that to some extent that people do not work on bugs because of how awkard it is to browse GNATS. Linimon will try to talk about “what are we trying to accomplish”, leading towards thinking about “what our ideal system requirements would be”.
