FreeBSD Developer Summit, 17th–18th May 2023

IRC
Many attendees hung out in #devsummit on EFnet during the summit and BSDCan.

The main summit sessions were streamed via the DMS 1160 room and on YouTube.
Schedule
Many developers arrived on the night of the 16th and met for dinner and drinks before things kick off. Most stayed 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.
