At NYCBSDCon 2007, a talk titled "BSD is Dying" took the world by storm. Two years later at DCBSDCon 2009, we got the follow-up "BSD is (Still) Dying." A year later, "BSD Needs Books" was presented at NYCBSDCon 2010, followed up with "BSD Breaking Barriers" at NYCBSDCon 2014. These excellent presentations fall into what I call "BSD advocacy for everyone" talks. That is, talks that can get anyone excited about joining the *BSD community and fully bringing themselves and their skills and gifts to our little piece of human history. But the most recent of the talks above is a decade old at this point. What should a "BSD advocacy for everyone" talk look like in 2024? How ought we communicate the value of the software and ourselves to the broader world today? Come with me on an exciting journey on how I wrangled the proprietary Oracle Developer Studio and Intel oneAPI DPC++/C++ compilers to run on FreeBSD and NetBSD and output native binaries for those operating systems. This journey is interesting to our question of "*BSD advocacy for everyone" by highlighting the power of the BSDs, the flexibility to undertake and excel at any task you might throw at them, and how many of the perceived problems those on the outside might feel "hold us back" are social, not technical, in nature, and how we can lead in turning the tide on outsiders' thinking in myriads of easy and small, large, and in-between ways. This talk will leave you with more than a few laughs, insights on "porting" proprietary software to the BSDs, and energized to be a *BSD advocate in your communities. Brian has been around the BSD community since 2005, NYCBUG since 2010, and got his OpenBSD account in 2013; he primarily works on OpenBSD ports. In 2014, he moved to Troy, NY, where he has lived ever since. He still does not appreciate the harsh upstate NY winters. Brian is the Graduate Program Director for and a Senior Lecturer in the Information Technology & Web Science program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and the Founder and Director of the Rensselaer Cybersecurity Collaboratory, the cybersecurity research lab and nationally leading CTF team at RPI.

This preparation time highlights the importance of strategic equipment planning we have been researching and acquiring to streamline our workflow. What equipment, you may ask? We have a carefully-chosen list of components that are portable and are oten be difficult to rent, which follow us to BSD events across the globe. Our goal is to acquire the necessary items to cover a four-track BSDCon with minimal reliance on rental equipment, thereby saving thousands on fees year over year. As an example, much of the hardware we rely on ranges in price from $50 to $2500 to purchase, nearly that much to rent per event. We have steadily increased our repository and were fortunate enough to roll out a first-gen version deployment at BSDCan 2024 with excellent results! The streams were consistent, our capture coverage was good, and the majority of the videos were up within two weeks. As a volunteer effort, it is critical that we make the most of our precious time by utilizing the correct hardware. This work enables participation and viewership from *BSD community around the world. To that end, we are reaching out to the community to request your support in achieving our goal. The FreeBSD Foundation is facilitating tax-deductible donations as a 501(c)(3) public-benefit organization and we are very appreciative of their assistance. If you would like to contribute to our efforts, donations can be made to the FreeBSD Foundation with the memo "Community AV Team". We, The AV Team, thank you!

It also targets new hardware like i386 . https://github.com/TheSledgeHammer/2.11BSD_X44 So if you are stuck inside this weekend, or think there is one good thing about summer and its air conditioning enjoy. -- mark saad | nonesuch at longcount.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
