====== FreeBSD Developer Summit, May, 2009 ======
This page describes the May 2009 %%FreeBSD%% Developer Summit, colocated with BSDCan 2009 taking place in Ottawa, Canada.  This was a by-invitation event.  %%FreeBSD%% committers were welcome to register themselves using this wiki; non-committers had to be sponsored by a committer to attend.

We highly encourage attendees to also attend BSDCan 2009.

====== Sponsors ======
Our annual BSDCan developer summit would not be possible without the generous support of sponsors.

[[http://www.bsdcan.org/|BSDCan]] provides logistical support, including organizing rooms for the event and for developers to stay in.  BSDCan also covers board and travel for all BSDCan speakers.  %%FreeBSD%% developers can help support the summit by speaking at BSDCan!  You can also help support BSDCan and the developer summit by encouraging people to attend the conference, and especially to attend tutorials.

**We are looking for additional sponsors to cover meals**, especially catered lunches during the developer summit.  Does your company use %%FreeBSD%% and want to help support the great development work?  Buying lunch for 70+ starving developers and getting a chance to talk to them about what you do with %%FreeBSD%% is a great way to get your name out, not to mention keep their attention :-).

====== Schedule ======
The %%FreeBSD%% developer summit takes place on the 6th and 7th of May, on the same days as the BSDCan tutorials (sorry!).  Many developers will arrive on the night of the 5th and meet for dinner and drinks before things kick off.  Most developers will stay on through BSDCan 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.

===== Topic Sessions and Topic Hacking =====
These sessions are intended to get developers with common areas of interest or specific projects in mind together for collaboration and hacking.  They might involve prepared presentations, structured code reading, or a notebook-assisted whiteboard session.  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.

^ Topic Session ^ Session Leader ^ Time ^ Suggested by ^ Description ^ Goal ^
| LLVM & clang | [[/BrooksDavis|BrooksDavis]] | ? | [[/BrooksDavis|BrooksDavis]] | Discuss the LLVM/clang roadmap and investigate further support in the base system.

| code cleanup and porting | ? | ? | [[/BjoernZeeb|BjoernZeeb]] | Look at per-arch code in kernel and userspace, duplicated assembler routines, general code like includes and inter-module dependencies, etc. trying to identify things to cleanup, that need documentation, or that could be made optional to help to build 'smaller %%FreeBSD%% images', .. | Assemble the list of things for people to work on or if possible directly fix things or write down documentation drafts. |

===== Talk Descriptions =====
Just high level ideas for now.  Tell us about your latest project, brainstorm on solutions to a hard problem, train us to use a new tool, make observations about a %%FreeBSD%% development process and how to improve it, tell us how your company uses %%FreeBSD%%, or coordinate activities.

^ Talk ^ Speaker ^ Length ^  Description  ^^
| Adding DTrace probes to your favourite kernel subsystem | [[/RobertWatson|RobertWatson]] | 30 minutes | DTrace is proving a compelling tracing and performance analysis tool, but using it effective for kernel development requires instrumenting kernel subsystems with new probes. This will be a brief introduction on how to do that based on worked examples in the form of access control, VFS, and NFS. |
| %%NetApp%% and %%FreeBSD%%: the Foundation of Enterprise Product | Joe Caradonna | 40 minutes | Learn about %%NetApp%%, how we use %%FreeBSD%% in our enterprise-class products, and how we can help each other succeed. |
| NFS Client and Server | [[/RickMacklem|RickMacklem]] | 30 minutes | Referrals, resource forks, delegations.  A new NFSv[234] client. |
| Xen and Virtualization | [[/DougRabson|DougRabson]] | 30 minutes | - |
| Bugbusting | [[/MarkLinimon|MarkLinimon]] | 30 minutes | Bugbusting status report -- new reports, new workflow, tasks for 8.0 |
| llvm and clang | [[/EdSchouten|EdSchouten]] | 30 minutes | Clang in %%FreeBSD%%'s base system: how mature is Clang? |
| PC-BSD | Kris Moore | 30 minutes | Tools PC-BSD offers and plans for the future of PC-BSD / %%FreeBSD%% on the desktop. |
| SCTP-NAT | Randall Stewart | 30 minutes | Most NAT's today have little to no support for SCTP but that is not true of the %%FreeBSD%% NAT. Recently added to HEAD is full support for "draft-ietf-behave-sctpnat-01.txt". This talk will discuss the basic concept on how SCTP and the NAT interwork and highlight some of the changes that were made in %%FreeBSD%% to accommodate this new functionality. |
| TTYs | [[/EdSchouten|EdSchouten]] | 15 minutes | Closing words on the MPSAFE TTY project |
| Exatrol - a %%FreeBSD%%-based power/serial console product | David Sharp | 15 minutes | Exatrol produces a %%FreeBSD%%/arm-based remote power and serial console product. |
| TCP | Lawrence Stewart | 30 minutes | Progress update on various projects (modular congestion control, %%FreeBSD%% Foundation sponsored [[http://caia.swin.edu.au/freebsd/etcp09/|ETCP project]], ALQ) and a look at upcoming work. |
| pfSense | Scott Ullrich/Chris Buechler | 15-20 minutes | History and future of pfSense.  Where we came from and where we plan to go in the future. |

====== Travel Information ======
As this event is colocated with [[http://www.bsdcan.org/2009/|BSDCan 2009]], all information on the BSDCan web page should apply.  Here are some suggestions that may make planning easier:

| **Arrival date** | 5th May 2009 |
| **Departure date** | 10th May 2009 |
| **Travel method** | If traveling from outside Ottawa, fly into Ottawa's international airport (YOW), possibly transferring in Toronto (YYZ).  Air Canada partners with United Airlines, and has direct flights from many US cities and London Heathrow (LHR) as well as Frankfurt (FRA) into Ottawa. |
| **Visas** | Many attendees will be able to use the Visa Waiver program, but check before traveling. If you need a formal invitation letter (never hurts), let us know. |
| **Where to stay** | Stay in the university residence halls, or if you really want a hotel, Les Suites. The university residence has two-person suites with private bedrooms but a shared bathroom and kitchenette, and is both clean and comfortable, as well as on-site for the summit. |

Remember that you must **separately register for BSDCan** (but only if you are not a BSDCan speaker); visit the BSDCan web page for details.

====== Information on Prior Developer Summits ======
Information on prior Developer Summits is available from the [[/DevSummit|DevSummit]] page.
