September 2018

• EuroBSDcon 2018, University Politehnica of Bucharest, Bucharest, Romania
  20 - 23 September, 2018
  EuroBSDcon is the European annual technical conference gathering users and developers working on and with 4.4BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) based operating systems family and related projects. EuroBSDcon gives the exceptional opportunity to learn about latest news from the BSD world, witness contemporary deployment case studies, and meet personally other users and companies using BSD oriented technologies. EuroBSDcon is also a boiler plate for ideas, discussions and information exchange, which often turn into programming projects. The conference has always attracted active programmers, administrators and aspiring students, as well as IT companies at large, which found the conference a convenient and quality training option for its staff. We firmly believe that high profile education is vital to the future of technology, and hence greatly welcome students and young people to this regular meeting.

  15 - 17 August, 2018
  An unconference style developer summit with a focus on interactive topics and sessions that reflect the interests of the attendees. The Cambridge devsummit is a slightly longer three-day event without associated conference, letting us hold more extended working groups, brainstorming sessions, and hacking on topics over several days. Past significant focuses have included virtualisation, network performance, sandboxing, tracing/debugging, packages and package security, teaching, non-x86 architectures such as ARM/MIPS/RISC-V, and testing.
