[ocbug] BSDCan 2024

[Katherine Mcmillan]

BSDCan is now accepting proposals for talks.

The talks should be designed for a technical audience, and may be
intended for a variety of experience levels.

Proposals of a business development or marketing nature are not
appropriate for this venue.

We have tended to group the sessions into the following categories
or tracks:

- Development
- System Administration
- Experiences
- Security
- Tutorials
- BOFs (Birds-of-a-Feather sessions)

and we may add further categories as needed, depending on the nature
of the submissions.

See http://www.bsdcan.org/2024/

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 schedule is:
    26 Dec 2023 Proposal acceptance begins
    12 Feb 2024 Proposal acceptance ends
    19 Feb 2024 Confirmation of accepted proposals

The conference will be primarily an in-person one. We are hoping to
offer other ways to participate, but the details have not been worked
out, so if you can only present remotely, please indicate this in your
submission notes.
