The pre-BSDCan developer summit, in Ottawa, is in May and I wonder what it take to persuade either someone from Tilera or the CMU effort to turn up for a day and brief the FreeBSD developer base. You can use devsummit@freebsd.org to get more specific details of the devsummit. I think this would be an important first step in finding someone from the developer base to drive the FreeBSD porting effort and BSDCan is probably quite interesting on it's own. Cheers, Markhelp
