FreeBSD Developer Summit: Toolchain Working Group
June 8, 2016 (Wednesday), 13:00-14:30, 15:00-16:00
DMS (Room TBD)
Overview
We will discuss ongoing work, and ideas for improvements to, the tool chain in the FreeBSD base system.
If you would like to participate, contact the working group chairs below and CC devsummit@. You will be then added to this page. Please include a list of things you want to talk about or the areas you are interested in. This helps us in planning the session and to bring people together with common interests.
It may be possible to bring in people who cannot attend in person via video conference or chat tools. Notes during the session will be published later on for the whole community to see what we discussed.
Goals
In general, there are two areas we would like to cover:
- Discussions of ongoing work that is complex enough, requires coordination, or requires architectural decisions that would benefit from face-to-face discussion among a larger group.
- Exchange of ideas for upcoming work to gauge community interest, solicit feedback, look for conflicts/overlap, and generally keep everyone informed.
In particular, we would like to cover the following topics. This is not an exhaustive list and if you feel there is something missing that you want to talk about, contact one of the session chairs and we will include your topic here. Note that the numbering of the topics does not represent an ordering or importance indication of any kind, but rather a reference to the second table with the “topic of interest” column.
Topics
| # | Topic Description |
|---|
Note: General presentations about work you have done that does not require further discussions should be submitted for the FreeBSD Developer Summit track at BSDCan (see the general developer summit page).
Attending
In order to attend you need register for the developer summit as well as by email for the session and be confirmed by the working group organizer. Follow the guidelines described on the main page or what you received by email. For questions or if in doubt ask the session chairs.
Please do NOT add yourself here. Your name will appear automatically once you received the confirmation email. You need to put your name on the general developer summit attendees list though.
