BSDCon Europe 2001 ------------------ On behalf of the organising committee I'm pleased to announce the inaugural conference for European BSD users and developers. The conference will take place at the Thistle Hotel, Brighton, UK from 9-11 November 2001. The conference website is at http://www.bsdconeurope.org. The aim of the conference is to provide a focal point for European users and developers of all the BSD derived operating systems. The format will be similar to other conferences, with 2 days of technical sessions over the Saturday and Sunday. The plan is to use Friday for "focus group" gatherings, where smaller groups of users and developers can meet to discuss specific aspects of the project in greater detail or to get more in-depth training. The focus group day will replace evening BOFs and instead there will be a full programme of conference entertainment on both Friday and Saturday evenings, including the Mega Quiz and live music. If you would like to speak at the conference, chair a focus group gathering or present a training session then contact the conference organisers at conchair@bsdconeurope.org BSD enthusiasts from all around the world are welcome. There will also be a number of sponsorship opportunities available for anyone wishing to assist in making the conference a success. Please contact the conference organisers if you are interested in sponsorship. Paul Richards This is the moderated mailing list freebsd-announce.
