We had done this a few times in the past (and I did them regularly in Stockholm) and they were appreciated. Briefly: we read the classics. You know how everyone who has seen Hackers knows that "they're trashing our rights!" means to look for clues in the trashcan, and everyone who has read Marmion knows that if someone is weaving a tangled web it means that they are telling many lies? We're like that, but for programming. Join us as we read all the snippets of code that we take for granted but never have the time to read, compare, contrast, re-write, and re-imagine. (We also exist on Meetup: https://www.meetup.com/Classical-Code-Reading-Group-of-New-York/. I'll post an event there after we nail down a date.) I'm going to leave the timing up to the admins, but for the content let's read yes.c, in all its implementations, while discussing its history and how it fits into the greater context of our world. I'll describe that below, but feel free to suggest other tiny commands. They have to be tiny! cat.c is too big (!). The yes command prints 'y', followed by a newline, forever. It can also take arguments, which it prints forever. We will look at (at least) the OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, GNU, and Illumos implementations. If you can find more, please share them! With the many different authors and distinct cultures we will be sure to have much to discuss and compare. Some things to think about: what are some uses for the yes command? What errors can occur, and how are they handled? How did GNU manage to make this program 88 lines long? How did Illumos get this program indented by five tabs? Just in case you don't have five copies of yes.c sitting on your hard drive, you can find them online: FreeBSD: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/usr.bin/yes/yes.c?revision=308432&view=markup NetBSD: http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/usr.bin/yes/yes.c?rev=1.8.22.1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup OpenBSD: http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/yes/yes.c?rev=1.9&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup GNU: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/tree/src/yes.c Illumos: https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/blob/master/usr/src/cmd/yes/yes.c This should all take about three hours.

Unlikely that'll happen, the bridge is PCMCIA (ISA in a card form factor), the newer cards with a gold tip are Cardbus (PCI in a card form factor). You'll have to settle on wi(4), an(4), rye(4) and ne(4) among some others e.g CF cards in PCMICA adapters. Our best bet is to modernise wi(4) to add WPA support, everything will be great then.

It will be preceded by two days of tutorials on 7-8 June (Wed-Thu). Also: do not miss out on the Goat BOF on Tuesday 6 June. We are now accepting proposals for talks. The talks should be designed with a very strong technical content bias. Proposals of a business development or marketing nature are not appropriate for this venue. See http://www.bsdcan.org/2017/ If you are doing something interesting with a BSD operating system, please submit a proposal. Whether you are developing a very complex system using BSD as the foundation, or helping others and have a story to tell about how BSD played a role, we want to hear about your experience. People using BSD as a platform for research are also encouraged to submit a proposal. Possible topics include: * How we manage a giant installation with respect to handling spam. * and/or sysadmin. * and/or networking. * Cool new stuff in BSD * Tell us about your project which runs on BSD * other topics (see next paragraph) >From the BSDCan website, the Archives section will allow you to review the wide variety of past BSDCan presentations as further examples. Both users and developers are encouraged to share their experiences.

The timesharing system was created to allow interactive shared access to the handful of computers which existed at the time. We will examine what is in the interactive punch card loader in 2017, what actually belongs in there, and why things are the way they are. Like science, the talk is highly religious. Unlike computer science, the talk is grounded in reality. Discussions, heretical opinions, and questions are encouraged. Bio Antti Kantee has been a NetBSD committer since the 1900's and has managed to do many sorts of damage. He is probably best (or worst, depending on who you ask) known for his decade-long workhaul on rump kernels. Antti very recently moved to the Princeton area, so in case he appears particularly absent during his talk, he got lost on the way to the venue.

The timesharing system was created to allow interactive shared access to the handful of computers which existed at the time. We will examine what is in the interactive punch card loader in 2017, what actually belongs in there, and why things are the way they are. Like science, the talk is highly religious. Unlike computer science, the talk is grounded in reality. Discussions, heretical opinions, and questions are encouraged. Speaker Bio Antti Kantee has been a NetBSD committer since the 1900's and has managed to do many sorts of damage. He is probably best (or worst, depending on who you ask) known for his decade-long workhaul on rump kernels. Antti very recently moved to the Princeton area, so in case he appears particularly absent during his talk, he got lost on the way to the venue.
