Giacomo Cariello writes "The 2nd European BSD Conference was held November 15-17, 2002, in Amsterdam. It was a great success with over 250 attendees. Pictures are now online here. The best paper award was won by Poul-Henning Kamp. Next EuroBSDcon will probably take place in Paris."

    EuroBSDcon 2002 Finished!

    Sounds like something from a Mortal Kombat game.


    Perhaps,

    EuroBSDcon 2002 is complete

    would be better.

    then again, i've been coding PHP for the last 12 hours, and probably am in no state to be making stupid jokes.

  2. So what about the paper? by QuietRiot · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Details on that award-winning paper anyone? I've looked around the site but have found nothing? Is it about FreeBSD timekeeping, that which he gave his presentation on?

      PHK's paper/talk was on time keeping, and it was very interesting, as was his tutorial on geom.

  3. 250 people? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0

    They'd have called it a 'great success' if 10 people attended. 250 people is not a 'great success'.

    Women on a BSD Conference?

    Attractive women? frickin' DANCING?

    I always knew that by running OpenBSD I would gain at least one advantage in comparison to bloody Linux.

      You should get out more if you found those women attractive. Some dumb pictures of a couple of butt-ugly geek chicks and your anyone's.

      hm, the women on those photos are FreeBSD users.
      You should switch the OS.

    Is that what they call them in the industry nowadays?

    I always thought it was "memorial".

    Did BSD get a "marker" instead of a tombstone?
    What about the latest in anti-stink spray?
