freebsd announce - Jul 2015 - vBSDcon: September 11 - 13, 2015

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 Developer?s Summit on September 11, 2015.  Speakers from across North
America and Europe will cover the topics below during plenary sessions:

FreeBSD Virtualization Options by Michael Dexter
Made to Measure: Network Performance Analysis in FreeBSD by George Neville-Neil
and JimThompson
What is EdgeBSD by Pierre Pronchery
Blacklist?d: A NetBSD project by Christos Zoulas
getdns, A New Stub Resolver by Willem Toorop

Improving MemGuard support for UMA on FreeBSD by Chang-Hsien Tsai
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

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.
