vBSDcon: September 11 - 13, 2015

["Miller, Vincent (Rick)" <vmiller%verisign.com@localhost>]

Hi all,

vBSDcon is a technical conference for the various BSD communities that is
hosted by Verisign for users and developers of BSD-based systems.  vBSDcon
2015 is being held in Reston, VA from September 11 - 13, 2015 at the
Sheraton Reston hotel.  vBSDcon is an ideal event for systems and network
administrators, developers, and engineers with a focus on BSD-based
technologies.  The early bird registration rate of $75.00 is available
through August 13, 2015 at vBSDcon.com.

The vBSDcon program is a single track conference with plenary talks and
unconference activities like Birds of A Feather sessions and Lightning
Talks and, as a bonus, we are hosting The FreeBSD Foundation to operate a
one-day FreeBSD Developer¹s Summit on September 11, 2015.  Speakers from
across North America and Europe will cover the topics below during plenary
sessions:

* Blacklist¹d: A NetBSD project by Christos Zoulas
* What is EdgeBSD by Pierre Pronchery
* HardenedBSD Internals by Shawn Webb
* Devio.us, the Free OpenBSD Shell Provider and Online BSD User Group:
Technical and Social Lessons Learned from Half a Decade of Service by
Brian Callahan and Bryce Chidester
* Interesting Things You Didn¹t Know You Could Do With ZFS by Allan Jude
* FreeBSD Virtualization Options by Michael Dexter
* Made to Measure: Network Performance Analysis in FreeBSD by George
Neville-Neil and JimThompson
* getdns, A New Stub Resolver by Willem Toorop
* Improving MemGuard support for UMA on FreeBSD by Chang-Hsien Tsai


vBSDcon provides space for a hacker lounge and doc sprint open to all BSD
communities including, but not limited to, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and
more.  The space is unmoderated so you can setup in these spaces following
the conclusion of daily conference activities to accomplish work on your
projects or documentation while away from the office.
