Hi all,(reply-all this time, sorry Andrew) Coming back to this, a few thoughts: 1. A talk about how to install FreeBSD (or PC-BSD) on a laptop 2. Basic server setup 101(demonstrated on a VirtualBox VM perhaps) 3. A talk about "FreeBSD for Linux admins" 4. Architectural differences (base system, GEOM framework, security levels, jails, no procfs etc.) 5. A practical "near real-life' disaster recovery exercise: How to recreate a multi-server environment in a short period of time using configuration scripts, ZFS and jails(demo with a few VMs) 6. A talk about backup, mirroring, failover and other "server-relevant" exercises 7. FreeNAS - a FreeBSD for home 8. The 10% effort for 90% outcome principle(or: do as much as you need not all what you can imagine) 9. The frustration of the FreeBSD Gnome maintainers with the way the project became Linux and systemd centred (no, I skip that one;-) 10. A pet project stalled in my mind: A less server-centric "meshed" Internet of personal point to point communication using home servers, VMs and encryption(that would be more a brain-storming session, I would like to know what others think) 11. Something completely diffferent For non of the subjects I can claim "complerte coverage" and the level varies. Some things I have done many times, others I have an ideas how to do when needed, and some things I just find cool but I haven't come around to use it yet.. None of the talks are ready.. I need some preparation and the effort depends on the subject(s) chosen. I am happy to prepare something.. where to start? Regards Peter
