BOFs

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.

speaker: Greg Lehey

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.
