Invite to MeetBSD 2011

Matt Olander invites us to attent MeetBSD 2011

Come discuss all the BSD flavors with your peers next week at MeetBSD
California! It's on Friday and Saturday, November 5th & 6th at
Hacker Dojo, in Mountain View, California, USA.

We have an interactive Unconference on the first day. This means that
the attendees will get to decide the topics in real time.
For the second day, a more traditional format of speakers and
works-in-progress will be followed. It's highly hackable, informative,
and fun.

Of course, a legendary BSD-party featuring special guests, activities,
and entertainment will occur Saturday evening at the Dojo ;)

Thanks to our generous sponsors, the cost is only $25 USD which includes
snacks, lunches, and admission to the after-party.


If you are planning on attending, please reserve your space now:

Kris Kennaway - New features in FreeBSD 7

New Features in FreeBSD 7.0
The main new feature has to do with multi-processor support.
Multi-processor support began back in FreeBSD 5.0 and is finally finished in 7.0.
The performance graphs for 7.0 with the new scheduler for 8 Processors look very nice.
He recommends switching to the ULE scheduler by recompiling your kernel, because it will not be the default scheduler.
