This will be an open-ended Q&A-style talk covering contributing to 
FreeBSD. By the end of the talk you should know what makes a good 
problem report, how to best interact with FreeBSD developers, and how 
the project handles PRs and anything else that may be relevant.

About the speaker:

Eitan is a second year student at SUNY Binghamton studying Computer 
Science. He has been using FreeBSD since 6.2. He is a src and ports 
committer and is part of the X11 and BugBusting teams.
