Introducing the Frack Room
Not to be confused with the panic room, we’re excited to announce the Frack Room. This will be a community space with network and system resources for hosting LAN games and hacking sessions. It’s taking the place of the SysAdmin Challenge. While the Challenge is a great conference event, it would be more appropriate for a larger conference with multiple tracks. This year it would be more of a distraction, competing with our main sessions and not paying the speakers their due respect. The Frack Room should be a good place for attendees to hang out and kill (no pun intended) time between talks, after a quick lunch, or any other time they won’t be attending a presentation. Developers can also use this room to collaborate with other hackers to work on new features or squash some bugs.
The room will have plenty of table space, network drops and a game server (hosting BSD-friendly games, of course). On tap we plan to include favorites like Quake 2 and bzflag, in addition to newer titles like OpenArena (Quake 3) and Teeworld. If you have other games you’d like to include, vote for it in the poll or add your write-in candidate in the comments below.
