Alas, I won’t be at #BSDCan this year.

Travelling is a big financial and mental cost. I overspent last year on BSDCan and AsiaBSDCon and so missed the #OpenZFS Dev Summit. So I’m saving both to make sure I can get there this year.

It’s unclear if I will make it though. Managing an anxiety disorder is about finding the stable and predictable paths through the world. The USA seems uninterested in stable and predictable right now, and I don’t yet know if I can overcome it, or if I even want to.

I say as someone whose friends are mostly American, and who has worked there and loved the country: I’m glad more conferences are shifting to Canada. I *badly* wish VCF would.

(Thankfully #bsdcan was always hosted in the land of moose)!

@nekohayo by all means: Attend even as a non-user.

If you have to start somewhere: #BSDCan is the best place to do it.

You'll be surrounded by #BSD users, devels, admins, and just BSD people for 2 whole days (or 4 if you want to attend to any of the tutorials) but most important than anything else, if you want to dip your toes into the BSD world: don't miss this opportunity. Most of us just don't have it.

... and buy as many @mwl books as you can. All you need to know is in there!

Have fun!

Alright #BSD fans, for a business management person like me who has been running (and contributing to) GNOME on Linux for 20 years, but knows next to nothing about BSD other than "It seems like even more of a niche than Linux, sounds like Asian-Dad-level Hard Mode™…", should I attend #BSDCan out of the blue? Is it a trap? :blobpeek:

Now that it's official, I can announce it - although I may have dropped a few hints earlier! 😉

My talk "Why (and how) we’re migrating many of our servers from Linux to the BSDs" has been accepted, and I’ll be honored to present it in June at BSDCan in Ottawa.

The joy of meeting BSD friends in person again (and those I haven’t had the chance to meet live yet) will be immense, and the honor of sharing my story in Canada is truly beyond measure, especially considering the level of other talks and all the people attending.

Of course, I’ll be bringing various BSD Cafe gadgets with me!

The final talk selection for #bsdcan is brutal. We got ~45, can take 30. After a handful of obvious rejects, a few "I love this but you're right it should go," and a bunch of "errr, it's less awesome, fine, we drop it," we're down to only the great talks... and still have to drop a couple. :flan_piteous:

But we should have decisions next week.

I will not be presenting or teaching at this year's #bsdcan

It's my last year as con chair and the ops committee, so I am dedicating my time to mercilessly wielding my power, crushing my enemies, and eating gelato. Not in that order.
