FreeBSD Developer Summit, September, 2019
This page describes the September 2019 FreeBSD Developer Summit, colocated with EuroBSDCon 2019, which takes place in Lillehammer, Norway. 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 EuroBSDcon 2019 in order to access all devsummit activities.
Schedule
The FreeBSD developer summit takes place on the 19th and 20st of September on the same days as the EuroBSDCon tutorials. Many developers will arrive on the night of the 18th and meet for dinner and drinks before things kick off. 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're doing.

Short Talks / Sessions
Please add your talk topics for the first day. The second day is a hackathon, but introductory talks for problems and issues people want to work on, they can also be held in the morning of the second day. Please test whether your laptop works with the projector early. For a two-monitor setup, you can try the mons port.
| When | Title | Speaker | Description | Slides, Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TBD | Testing/CI status update and how to work with the FreeBSD CI system | lwhsu | The second part is not about the CI system itself nor writing test cases. It's more like how a FreeBSD developer should interact with the CI system and how we can benefit each other. | slides1 slides2 |
| 10:00 | FreeBSD Foundation - The work we're doing and community input | Deb Goodkin | Overview of the activities (past and present) of the FreeBSD Foundation, getting feedback from the community | |
| TBD | Cloud computing on FreeBSD | pizzamig | Orchestrating jails using pot and nomad, presentation and demo | Slides |
Working Groups
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.
| When | Title | Session Leader | Description | Slides, Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TBD | Graphics Working Group | Niclas Zeising | ||
| TBD | Bug/Review | TBD (lwhsu, emaste) | Doing fast PR triage and ensure the right people or parties are aware of the issue should be the main goal. We can even narrow down the scope to things like “graphics”, “network” or “testing” PRs, and even proceed in smaller groups if necessary. | |
| TBD | eBPF on FreeBSD | Hiroki Sato | A project to port eBPF to FreeBSD is in progress. The goal of this working group is to have a brainstorming about what eBPF on FreeBSD should be. The problem is that “what we want to get” from another eBPF implementation is still vague because most of eBPF applications are Linux-specific and FreeBSD has equivalents or similar such as DTrace, MAC framework, and Netgraph kernel modules. | Slides |
