Apple has just announced their annual World Wide Developer Conference to be held May 21 - 25, 2001 http://www.apple.com/developer/wwdc2001/daemonnews.html If you find yourself wondering why you should attend, let me see if I can help. In addition to the regular Mac OS application development, this year Apple has added conference tracks for BSD UNIX and Darwin. Apple's acknowledgement and use of BSD in their core operating system is a big boost to the growing BSD userbase. In return, we need to show Apple our support as a BSD developer community. So, visit the Conference website and register. If you can't make it to the conference, be sure to check out what they are offering and give feedback to show your support and interest. Let's show Apple that they have chosen the best technology to base their future on. -Chris Coleman Daemon News <http://www.daemonnews.org>; http://www.apple.com/developer/wwdc2001/daemonnews.html I have listed the conference tracks for BSD and Darwin: BSD UNIX The kernel architecture of Mac OS X includes operating system services derived from FreeBSD (Berkeley Software Distribution, a version of 4.4BSD that offers advanced networking, performance, security, and compatibility features. In addition, new technologies, such as the I/O Kit and Network Kernel Extensions (NKEs), have been designed and engineered by Apple to take advantage of advanced capabilities such as those provided by an object-oriented programming model. WWDC 2001 will include sessions that cover the following related topics Utilizing BSD within Mac OS X Mac OS X kernel extensions The I/O Kit: file system, storage drivers, and networking hardware Darwin The stability of Mac OS X begins with Darwin, the open source core of the Mac OS X. Darwin integrates a number of technologies, including the Mach 3.0 kernel, operating system services based on BSD UNIX, high-performance networking facilities, and support for multiple integrated file systems. Darwin's modular design provides the flexibility that allows developers to provide additional system functionality along with support for new and innovative hardware products. WWDC 2001 will include sessions that cover the following related topics: Darwin, the open source foundation of Mac OS X Open Source at Apple ----- End forwarded message ----- This is the moderated mailing list freebsd-announce.
