This page describes the March 2019 FreeBSD Developer Summit, colocated with AsiaBSDCon 2019, which will take place in Tokyo, Japan. 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 AsiaBSDCon 2019 in order to access all devsummit activities. Consider making a donation to the FreeBSD Foundation to support this effort.
Live Streams - the FreeBSD Dev Summit is in room C
The FreeBSD developer summit will take place on the 21st and 22nd of March on the same days as the AsiaBSDCon tutorials. Many developers will arrive a few days before the event to get rid of jet lag before things kick off. Most developers will stay on through AsiaBSDCon 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.
Don't forget bhyvecon on March 20, 2019 at the Morito Memorial Hall (AsiaBSDcon venue).
