FreeBSD Developer Summit, May, 2012
This page describes the May 2012 FreeBSD Developer Summit, colocated with BSDCan 2012, which took place in Ottawa, Canada. This was a by-invitation event. FreeBSD committers were welcome to register themselves using this wiki; non-committers had to be sponsored by a committer to attend. Attendees must also have attended BSDCan 2012 in order to access all devsummit activities.
Contents
Sponsors
Our annual BSDCan developer summit would not have been possible without the generous support of sponsors.
BSDCan provides logistical support, including organizing rooms for the event and for developers to stay in. BSDCan also covers board and travel for all BSDCan speakers. FreeBSD developers can help support the summit by speaking at BSDCan! You can also help support BSDCan and the developer summit by encouraging people to attend the conference, and especially to attend tutorials.
The FreeBSD Foundation covers several expenses including rooms for the event and T-shirts. In addition, the FreeBSD Foundation also covers travel expenses for several attendees. You can help support the FreeBSD Foundation by donating.
Bug List
A list of target PRs to work on during the devsummit can be found here.
IRC
Many of the developer summit attendees hang out on #devsummit on EFnet during the summit (as well as BSDCan itself).
Schedule
The FreeBSD developer summit took place on the 9th and 10th of May on the same days as the BSDCan tutorials (sorry!). Many developers will arrive on the night of the 8th and meet for dinner and drinks before things kick off. Most developers will stay on through BSDCan to give and attend talks. It is an excellent conference--a good FreeBSD developer showing has countless benefits, not least the opportunity to tell the world what we're doing.

BSDCan has provided some photos and directions to locate the relevant buildings from the Residence Hall here.

Detailed Schedule
Working group sessions were held in rooms in the Desmarais Building (DMS) on Wednesday. Working group sessions were held in rooms in Morisset Hall (MRT) and Lamoureux Hall (LMX) on Thursday. Additional short talks were given during a FreeBSD Developers' Summit track at BSDCan in Morisset Hall (MRT) on Friday, May 11th. The events in this track will be part of BSDCan and require a BSDCan registration. All rooms had AV equipment.
The Desmarais Building (DMS) is located northwest of the Residence building on Laurier Avenue. Morisset Hall (MRT) is located across the street from the eastern end of the parking lot beside the Residence building. Lamoreux Hall (LMX) is located southeast of the Residence building on Jean Jacques Lussier.
Please arrive by 8:45am for the morning sessions so that we can get started around 9:00am. Attendees will be able to pick up badges and T-shirts from 8:00am to 9:00am at DMS 1160 on Wednesday and LMX 122 on Thursday.
The hacker lounge for general hanging out during the evenings will be in room L152 in the Residence Hall. The dinner on Thursday evening will also be in this room.
Note: In order to attend a working group meeting you MUST contact the working group organizer and be approved to attend. The goal is to keep each working group small and focused. Lunch will be served in DMS 1160 on Wednesday and LMX 122 on Thursday.

Working Groups
These sessions were intended to get developers with common areas of interest or specific projects in mind together for collaboration and hacking. They might involve prepared presentations, structured code reading, or a notebook-assisted whiteboard session. Advance preparation for such events is critical so everyone comes to the table with the right reading done so you can get to the meat of the matter.

Travel Information
As this event is colocated with BSDCan 2012, all information on the BSDCan web page applied. Here are some suggestions that may make planning easier:
Arrival date |
8th May 2012 |
Departure date |
13th May 2012 |
Travel method |
If traveling from outside Ottawa, fly into Ottawa's international airport (YOW), possibly transferring in Toronto (YYZ). Air Canada partners with United Airlines, and has direct flights from many US cities and London Heathrow (LHR) as well as Frankfurt (FRA) into Ottawa. |
Visas |
Many attendees will be able to use the Visa Waiver program, but check before traveling. If you need a formal invitation letter (never hurts), let us know. |
Where to stay |
Stay in the university residence halls, or if you really want a hotel, Les Suites. The university residence has two-person suites with private bedrooms but a shared bathroom and kitchenette, and is both clean and comfortable, as well as on-site for the summit. |
Remember that you must separately register for BSDCan (but only if you are not a BSDCan speaker); visit the BSDCan web page for details.
