As with previous summits at BSDCan we are planning for a two day summit overlapping with BSDCan's tutorial days on Wednesday, June 17th and Thursday, June 18th. Similar to previous years, each day will consist of presentations in the morning and working group sessions in the afternoon. We are now soliciting proposals for both presentations and working groups. Presentations normally run about 45 minutes leaving additional time for any Q&A. Presentations will be given in-person in a room with an HDMI projector and microphones. Presentations will also be recorded and streamed to the FreeBSD Meetings channel on YouTube. Presentation proposals must include a title, speaker, and brief abstract. Working groups contain a small number of people (<= 30) focused on a particular topic whose output is a specific plan. Topics should be narrow in focus as broad topics result in a large group that rarely produces concise, usable output. Each working group will need a chairperson to drive the group and will have a room with A/V equipment, tables, chairs, etc. A group can either meet for a single session (roughly 1.5-2 hours) or for two sessions (3-4 hours total). Some possible working group topics include: - Bug Busting and Triage - Network Performance - FreeBSD on Laptops (Graphics / Wireless) - Fault Management - Ports and Packaging Infrastructure (sub-packages, kmod packages) - Development Tools (lldb, valgrind) - Pre-commit Testing and CI - Low-idle Power Management & Hibernation - Using Lua in the Base System Working group proposals must include the following: - A chairperson who will be responsible for making this group work. A chair may delegate work to other folks, but one person should have the final say rather than a committee. - A single paragraph abstract giving a brief overview of what the working group session will cover and what goals you wish to achieve. - A possible guest list to identify individuals known to be interested and working on the topic. The proposal should also include a list of individuals that you feel must be present for the group to be a success. - An agenda with specific topics that the session will cover. In addition, each working group chairperson will be responsible for recruiting one or more scribes (note takers) to be present during the group and for using these notes to generate a written summary of the group that will be published on hackers@ after the summit is completed. Proposals for both presentations and working groups should be sent to devsummit@FreeBSD.org by March 25, 2026. We look forward to your proposals. If you have any questions, feel free to send them to devsummit@FreeBSD.org. -- John Baldwin
