It's being held at Symbion Science Park in Copenhagen, Denmark. Come, meet and talk to BSD people from all over the world. Program ------- 20+ interesting speakers in a program which includes: Kirk McKusick: Kirk is the epitome of BSD - an all-time Berkley guy will talk about the history of the UFS file system. Sam Leffler: Sam is another of the original BSD people. For a while he has been working a lot with wireless networks and and his name can be found in a lot of the open source wireless code. At the conference he will be talking about long distance wireless. Marc Balmer: Marc became an active OpenBSD developer in 2004 and has since be responsible for several prominent OpenBSD projects. At the conference he will talk about Support for Radio Clocks in OpenNTPD. Steven Murdoch: Steven is working on computer security research at Cambridge University and he will be talking about hidden channels between computers which even the best firewall cannot close. John Hartmann: Very few if any UNIX people have heard about John Hartmann, despite the fact that he completed the work Dennis and Ken started with pipes. John will talk about "CMS pipes" a minor and cheap entry in the IBM product catalogue which is a radical generalization of the UNIX pipe concept.
