What does it bring?

meetBSD gives the exceptional opportunity to learn about latest news from the BSD world, witness contemporary deployment case studies, and meet personally other users and companies using BSD oriented technologies. meetBSD is also a boiler plate for ideas, discussions and information exchange, which often turn into programming projects.

Participants

The conference has always attracted active programmers, administrators and aspiring students, as well as IT companies at large, which found the conference a convenient and quality training option for its staff. We firmly believe that high profile education is vital to the future of technology, and hence greatly welcome students and young people to this regular meeting.

Reputation

Every year we host speakers and participants from around the world, and to our great pleasure each time we gather more and more positive feedback about the conference. This is a strong incentive to raise the bar even higher with the upcoming edition. We believe that high-calibre technical content of the offered lectures and unforgettable atmosphere of the side talks make meetBSD one of the greatest UNIX-oriented conference not only in Poland but world wide.

High value

Technical excellence of the lectures content is our foremost concern. Speakers at meetBSD have always been experienced UNIX users and programmers. It is a great chance for participants to talk to the BSD projects contributors in person, often the known and respected open source developers. meetBSD brings quality talks about various aspects of implementation and configuration of the BSD systems. We strive to provide mixed topics, to meet diversified audience perspectives.

Agenda

Materials from past editions can be reviewed at the main conference site (www.meetbsd.org), which collects data about speakers, slides and papers, including video recording where available.
