Glad you mentioned that, I wanted to offer to pre-record some canned
video for anyone who wants it. That way we can get examples for actual
"BSDs in Production" without having people reinventing the wheel for a
presentation. I want to get as much of this done pre-con to smooth out
any wrinkles ahead of time.
Glad I kicked off this thread though. Looks like we are getting some
good ideas.
