Let's meet up again

Finally it s getting concrete :-) after months of silence there is the next meetup occurring the 8th. We ll try to cover as much as possible, ZFS alone is quite a topic by itself ... but as always it will be a small group but dynamic ... more an exchange of knowledge ... Everyone knows a little something :-) Also the opportunity to cover conferences people might not have attended. As you can see the place is quite nice and largely sufficient to handle a reasonable group so hopefully we will see you over there.

Speaking of Dublin, Monday is public holiday, will be the opportunity to move on on some things which went stale a little. My previous OpenBSD gear had been converted into a real FreeBSD development one, largely sufficient for even LLVM with real parallel build support. By the way, speaking of AMD Ryzen, Larkin (at least) is looking for having a hand on this pretty recent hardware to fix proper hibernate/resume ... Just in case.

In the previous post were mentioned the infamous xorg issue which now have a fix for current so soon should follow a fix via syspatch for the 6.4 release ...

BSD Now / EuroBSDCon

Hi folks,

I guess I am late :-) but just stumbled across the BSDNow episode where there is the last EuroBSDCon report and also the llvm 7 announce here ; that is the basically this year souvenir as was the interview the previous year :-) So I confirm as well thanks to Dimitry Andric for having helping for early review last year and now importing things into FreeBSD source tree :-)

Back from EuroBSDCon ...

... and hopefully everybody made it without too much problems. So ... to summarise many people think it was a good year and I think the same, the content was pretty interesting in general and I appreciate every year ambiance, location ... change every time.
Here my personal classification :
- Removing ROP Gadgets from OpenBSD
- Taking NetBSD kernel bug roast to the next level : Kernel Sanitizers (and I find Kamil modest, his work is more important than it appears).
- FreeBSD Graphics.
- The End of DNS as we know it.
- FreeBSD/VPC: a new kernel subsystem for cloud workloads.
- Better documentation – on the web and for LibreSSL (I understand better Ingo's work and its importance now).
- FreeBSD: What to (Not) Monitor 
- OpenBSD and Diving.
- From “Hello World” to the VFS Layer: building a beadm for DragonFly BSD ... I hope Michael won t give up it is very hard for everyone to deliver great in the first try ; I appreciate seeing more unusual profiles like yours ;-)

Good things, like many does, I had the opportunity to do few of my usual hackeries in between so happy the Wifi and so on was good enough for everyone :-)

So now back to usual tasks ;-)
