We have been informed that hotels in the area are filling rapidly, see our website for hotel information but don't wait too long to book your hotel rooms. We are still talking to hotels in the area to reserve more rooms but october seems to be a popular month to visit the Netherlands. Some of this years highlights: * A two-day tutorial "An Introduction to the FreeBSD Open-Source Operating System" by Kirk McKusick which is a real MUST for everyone who want to work on BSD kernels. * A tutorial on Dtrace by Tod McQuillin. Dtrace is the new way to locate problems in applications and find performance bottlenecks. Dtrace was ported from OpenSolaris and is part of the FreeBSD base system since FreeBSD 8. * A pfSense 2.0 tutorial by Chris Buechler. PfSense 2.0 is a mayor inprovement over pfSense 1.x which has proven to be a versatile and reliable firewall with an easy to use web based admin interface. * About 25 interesting talks Talks among which: - OpenBSD's PF packet filter which celebrates it's 10th anniversary too - A new NetBSD packet filter called NPF - The OpenBSD MPLS stack - HAST, high availability storage on FreeBSD - A BSD operating system on top of the Minix 3 kernel - How ZFS changes the life of system administrators See our website for the full list.
