I have no idea what to write ….

Ok well I am a long time FreeBSD user who writes more than what is psychologically deemed sane in perl; my current hobby is trying to make a BSD only VM provider based on bhyve with ZFS as a backing store.

My normal haunt is on irc.freenode.net, if you are reading this and bored feel free to come say hi in #freebsd-wiki,#freebsd-social or well pretty much any #freebsd channel.

Now here are some small projects I am trying my best to come to fruition.

• FreeBSD Reperfect
• FreeBSD Handbook+
  • Youtube
  • Wiki
• FreeBSD LTO (Link Time Optimization)

This is a project to create a forked GIT FreeBSD with a more easy to submit commit path for new users and existing developers, this will be done in conjunction with several FreeBSD committers who are willing to donate some time to the project, to review what actually gets pushed forward and what gets held. This project will have a separate controller for management and planning via https://redmine.daemon.space wether or not its git/svn integration modules will be required is still up for debate.

A joined project between two sub projects, to improve, extend and open FreeBSD to all users.

I will be slowly releasing a digital video version tracking the FreeBSD handbook chapter by chapter until completion, to be as complete as possible. This will be mostly done from a recorded virtualbox session so that users can see precisely what information the handbook is providing and where modifications may be required. The most notable of these would of course be in respect to jails and bhyve. The base for these articles on youtube is here: viBSD Youtube channel

As the youtube project will require going through the entire handbook, it will undoubted find many flaws and sections with missing or old information. As the goal is to bring the handbook onto the wiki to make it easier to update, it makes sense that these two projects work in sync. Episodes for youtube will be released inline with the pages of the handbook (+additions)

More coming on this shortly (No formal plan yet sorry :))
