Announcement and Call for Papers
2nd European BSD Conference
November, 2002
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
A conference organized by Stichting EuroBSDCon
OVERVIEW
The Berkeley Software Distributions (BSDs) represent one of the oldest and
most vigorous streams of Open Source development. Together, OpenBSD,
FreeBSD, NetBSD, Darwin, and BSD/OS represent millions of servers and
desktops. The BSDs have long been part of the backbone of the Internet, in
everything from embedded applications to large server installations, and
will soon be widely deployed on consumer desktops. If you want to develop
cutting-edge network applications, then the European BSD conference is the
place to be. Meet all the movers and shakers of the BSD community, and learn
how you can use BSD as part of your enterprise-grade solutions.
This second European BSD conference will feature one day of tutorials and
two days of technical sessions. The combination of technical tracks,
invited talks, tutorials, and Birds-of-a-Feather sessions provides an
opportunity for people of all experience levels to learn from BSD experts,
professionals with real world experience, and industry leaders.
The official language at the conference will be English. The exact date of
the conference will be announced on the website.
TUTORIAL PROGRAM (1 day)
On the first day of the conference, a selection of practical, problem-
solving, in-depth tutorials will be presented to you by the most
authoritative, popular and widely acclaimed speakers in the field.
If you're interested in presenting a tutorial or would like to share ideas
about what would make a terrific tutorial, please contact the Program
Committee at pc@eurobsdcon2002.org.
TECHNICAL CONFERENCE (2 days)
The next two days will offer comprehensive technical sessions, including
keynote address, presentations of refereed papers and invited talks. Join
peers and gurus during the enjoyable social event.
The European BSD conference seeks original and innovative papers about the
applications, architecture, implementation, performance and security of
BSD-derived operating systems. Papers that analyze problem areas and draw
important conclusions from practical experience are especially welcome.
Presentations are being solicited in areas including but not limited to:
* BSD kernel hacking
* Embedded BSD application development and deployment
* Device drivers
* IPv6 deployment on BSD
* BSD and security (Network Intrusion Detection Systems, Firewalls,
VPNs, practical cryptography, auditing and computer forensics)
* High performance networking
* System and network performance tuning
* Innovative BSD system administration tools and techniques
* Running BSD on your toaster
