The pre-BSDCan developer summit, in = Ottawa, is in=20 May and I wonder what it take to persuade either someone from Tilera or = the=20 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=20 developer base to drive the FreeBSD porting effort and BSDCan is = probably quite interesting on it's own. Cheers, Mark=
