OpenZFS Developer Summit

OpenZFS Developer Summit 2013
Delphix is hosting a developer-focused event for OpenZFS. The goal of the event is to foster cross-platform community discussions of OpenZFS work, and to make progress on some of the projects proposed for this community.

We were previously calling this event "OpenZFS Day", but decided to rename it to reflect its target audience of ZFS developers.

Location
The event will be in the Delphix office in San Francisco:

604 Mission St. Suite 400, San Francisco, CA 94105

Speaker Info
Note: If you are in the room, you are potentially a speaker. This will be done in unconference style, so every attendee should come prepared to present or otherwise lead a discussion or session of up to 45 minutes. You can indicate potential topics in the registration table below.

Equipment available:

Hackathon
The goals of the hackathon are: Therefore, we should plan to work in small teams of 2-3 engineers. The team members could be pair-programming, splitting up the work into discrete tasks for each person, or advising / implementing.
 * to get people working with ZFS engineers from outside their normal circles
 * to start work on some of the projects we'd like to accomplish
