I’m quite pleased to now be able to announce FreeBSDCon ’99, the
first annual FreeBSD Conference and Expo. This will be a
significant event for FreeBSD users and developers this year,
offering a full spectrum of FreeBSD-related tutorials, demos,
workshops, panels, presentations, discussions and exhibits.
Many FreeBSD developers and vendors will be at this event as
will most of the FreeBSD core team. You’ll also get a chance to
meet people who are using FreeBSD for several of the world’s
largest internet sites and listen to presentations from researchers
and application developers who are using and supporting FreeBSD in
the field. You’ll also have the rare opportunity to buy all the
latest FreeBSD promotional items at the FreeBSD Mall amd try out
“hands-on” demos of the latest FreeBSD applications.
FreeBSDCon ’99 will be held at the Berkeley Marina Radisson
Hotel. The hotel is located directly on San Francisco Bay, with
spectacular views of the San Francisco skyline and the Golden Gate
bridge. It is also conveniently located near the University of
California Berkeley Campus, and is only ten minutes from downtown
San Francisco. It is close to both the Oakland International
Airport (20 minutes) and San Francisco International Airport (30
minutes).
Some highlights of the conference will be:
- Kirk McKusick’s “FreeBSD Internals” tutorial.
- FreeBSD Core team panel and various individual
presentations. - Talks by prominent members of the FreeBSD user and commercial
community
If you or your company use FreeBSD seriously then this is one
event you cannot afford to miss!
