We're less than two weeks out from BSDCan! Read our latest update here:
https://blog.bsdcan.org/2024/
We could use some help with registration, so please volunteer if you're interested in stuffing bags and getting to know other volunteers and the conference team.
Let's talk about the first half of the conference: Tutorial Days This is some of the most affordable professional training out there and we're grateful for the talented presenters who have offered their services to the community. We hope you'll check one or two of these sessions out if you're attending in person!
If you get in early, Tuesday evening before the these tutorial days start there will be an informal meetup, the famed "Goat BOF," at Father and Sons (fnsottawa.com) where you can get a bite and say hello.
For our first tutorial day on Wednesday, you can sign up to learn the basics of BGP with Max Stucchi, and dig deeply into the routing protocol that makes the internet work! (indico.bsdcan.org/event/1/cont…) Or join Tom Smyth to learn about managing OpenBSD networks with NSH, a command-line interface for network appliances. (indico.bsdcan.org/event/1/cont…)
Thursday's tutorials include the conference classic introduction to PF by @pitrh, Max and Tom (indico.bsdcan.org/event/1/cont…) and our con chair @mwl will present half day tutorials about TLS (indico.bsdcan.org/event/1/cont…) and the hottest of topics: running your own mail server (indico.bsdcan.org/event/1/cont…).
At 5pm on Thursday, after the last tutorials, head on over to the 90 University residence hall and step through the lobby and into the hacker lounge, where we will be handing out registration badges and packets to earlybirds. At 6pm there will be a brief informational Newcomer's Session you don't want to miss, and we hope after that point that con regulars will group up to help take first-time attendees out to see the town! This room will stay open later into the evening so you can hack or visit with friends. Or hack with friends!
