In this talk he will cover what FreeBSD-embedded looks like today, how small can you get your kernel and userland, where the bloat is, and what challenges lie ahead. About the speaker: Adrian has been tinkering in open source since high school. He now works at Qualcomm Atheros on their internal driver infrastructure. In his spare time, Adrian is working on 802.11n support, maintains the Atheros wifi driver in FreeBSD as well as co-maintains the FreeBSD net80211 stack. Adrian lives in San Jose with no wife, no children, no pets and a rather large collection of embedded devices (most of which run FreeBSD.) * * * MeetBSD California 2012 will be held November 3rd and 4th in Sunnyvale, California (www.meetbsd.com). Registration is open. Note that we are alternating NYCBSDCon with MeetBSD California, and in 2013, it's our turn.

The web site has also been updated for John Baldwin's meeting on SMP for October 3rd.
