DCBSDCon on BSDTalk 167
Despite my inability to form a coherent thought, Will Backman saw fit to invite me on BSDTalk to discuss DCBSDCon 2009 (mp3, ogg). We covered the usual points, but this also gave us a chance to announce two of our confirmed speakers.
Dr. Marshall Kirk McKusick is a pioneer in the BSD movement. He designed the original Fast File System (and UFS2… and softupdates… you get the point) and is one of the authors of the Design and Implementation series of books.
Henning Brauer is an OpenBSD developer and one of the major forces behind PF, OpenBSD’s packet filter subsystem. He is also the creator of OpenNTPD and OpenBGPD.
We also touched on the SysAdmin Challenge. I think that participants will really have a fun time with this event. If you have suggestions for any of the challenge goals, please add them as a comment below.
Oh yeah, and registration will be open very soon. Don’t blink or you might miss it.
