I don't believe the slides are online -- you could try dropping e-mail to Peter Frehan, a FreeBSD developer working at NetApp, to ask about them. You can find many of the slide sets from the developer summit online on the wiki page for the summit: http://wiki.freebsd.org/200705DevSummit The Isilon slide includes a nice shopping list of features they'd like to give back :-). I believe they are looking for willing collaborators to help make that happen. Robert N M Watson Computer Laboratory University of Cambridge
