No, BOF isn't the Bay of Fundy. A BOF is a Birds Of a Feather event.
This is an informal meeting of people interested in a common topic.
It is often a good opportunity to discuss new features, plans, and to
hack out solutions to existing problems.
To add a BOF or other activity, please contact activities@bsdcan.org.

| MySQL on BSD |
|
A BoF for people interested in
running MySQL on BSD. There are two main areas of discussion:
- Building MySQL. Currently we have two versions, the MySQL way and
the Ports Collection/pkgsrc way. How can we minimize the
differences? Can we find a way for the BSD projects to cooperate
with the MySQL build team to our mutual benefit?
- MySQL performance and stability bugs. We've had a number of reports
of both kinds of problem on FreeBSD, apparently related to
threading. So far we don't have a good idea of where they're coming
from.

| Open Cryptographic |
|
BOF on the topic of the Open Cryptographic
Framework, and moving towards a common "OCF 2.0" capable of doing
cryptographic offload of entire ESP/AH packet processing.
Relevant platforms would be FreeBSD, NetBSD (and Linux). I don't yet
know if OpenBSD can benefit --- I think that they already have one.
