Hi everyone, the FSFE is planning a session on the 34th Chaos Communication Congress about Free operating systems that are not based on Linux. We want to promote "free software diversity" and would love have someone introduce FreeBSD to the audience. We are also inviting the other BSDs, OpenSolaris/IllumOS and also GNU/Hurd :D The session will be part of the unofficial program and will likely be held in the large assembly space of the more political organisations. Last year we have had community sessions with over a hundred people so it is an opportunity to present FreeBSD to an interested crowd. More details on the session here: https://blog.3rik.cc/2017/10/call-for-sessions-at-the-fsfe-assembly-during-34c3/ The person presenting doesn't in anyway have to represent the foundation or even be developer, although it would be good if they know FreeBSD since more than a year so they can answer questions. Format of the short talk: * max. 10min talk/presentation + 5min Q+A * one slide about yourself and your role in / experience with the project * one slide with quick facts of your project (since when? how many developers? size of community, commercial users? License? frequency of updates ...) * then pick some things that are specific to your OS or that you think are interesting * doesn't have to be a complete overview, it's ok to cover some highlights and some differences to other OSs, especially Linux * you can also demonstrate something practical, e.g. how easy it is to configure your operating system's firewall compared to iptables. Is anyone that you know going to 34c3 that would like to do this? Please feel free to forward this to other people or mailing lists. And please get back to me ASAP if you want to volunteer! Thank you and best regards, Hannes (German team of the FSFE and a long-time FreeBSD user)
