I don't really know what to expect from a BOF. If I scheduled one would I then suddenly find myself being expected to set an agenda and lead a discussion... or do folks just show up and chat? I'd certainly perfer if this role was filled by DG... I expect he has much more FreeBSD-specific things to say, though I suppose I'm amiable to whatever... ;-) > > I see that Walnut Creek is amongst the vendors that will be in attendance. > > Who from the FreeBSD camp will at that booth waving the FreeBSD banner? > > I believe that David is the only person slated to attend.
