We had the following developers.

The format was technically a mixture of a cross-project developer summit and a workshop. We had invited developers working with BSD from different organizations, we had some dinners together, and dedicate various sessions to each of the topics based on the interests of the attending developers. The format of these sessions was quite flexible: they included presentations or demonstration of results, or even public discussions with developers involved, or a mix of all of these.

We had two different schedules: one for the participants and their guests and one for the public part of the summit. The former is mostly about the summit in general, while the latter is the interest of casual visitors of the BSD-Day.

The questions were awarded at each talk.

We had reserved room D-0.803 (Szabó József) at Eötvös Loránd University, Faculty of Informatics for the event, it was available all day, including the toilets nearby in the building.

Each session slot was 30 minutes long.

For preparing the slides, you could use the template attached to the page. It contains a LaTeX source file that you can modify to create PDF-based slides for the session. It uses the Beamer class which is an easy-to-use extension to LaTeX for making presentations. Then pdfLaTeX can be used for compiling the sources to produce the desired PDF file.

$ pdflatex my-presentation.latex

A few rule-of-thumbs when creating slides:

• Try to make things legible, use large fonts.
• Have title and closing.
• Use less text, you do not have to include everything on the slides. (Prepare and) Do a demonstration if needed.
• You have only 20 minutes, having 20 or less slides (in addition to title and closing) is usually fine.
• Sometimes images can tell more than pure text.
• Leave a few minutes for questions.

There were a lunch, drinks, and snacks arranged for the summit around the Eötvös Loránd University. The breakfast and the lunch were on-site at ELTE in room D-1.817. During the breakfast and lunch the following drinks were available. (Breakfast and lunch costs were covered by the organizers.)

• Juice in different flavors
• Soda in different flavors
• Black coffee (with milk)
• Mineral water (soda, tap)

A breakfast was served from 09:00 to 10:00.

A lunch was served from 12:00 to 13:00. The list of the compiled menu was as follows.

• Mini sandwiches in different flavors (cheese, ham, salami, camambert with grape)
• Salads (Shopska salad, vitamin salad with yoghurt topping)
• Dessert (fresh fruit, mini Gerbaud cakes)

We had a welcome dinner arranged for the participants at Tranzit Art Café from 19:00 on Friday, and there was a closing dinner at Trófea Grill Újbuda from 19:00 on Saturday. The latter was served in smorgasbord style and paid by the organizers as a gratis.

As a visitor, you could register yourself for the event by filling in a registration form. Here you needrf to specify an email address (among other things) so you will be able to receive further information on the event.

There can be also found an A5 format booklet for the event here. For the sake of cost efficiency, we did not provide this booklet at the event, but it might be used by the visitors. It needs to be printed in A4 format two-side and folded into two then attached in the middle.

There was a University wireless network available dedicated for the event with SSID of “bsdday2010” from 09:00 to 17:00. The password for the network was published at the event.
