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.
{{:OpenZFS Developer Summit 2020}}
 
''We were previously calling this event "OpenZFS Day", but decided to rename it to reflect its target audience of ZFS developers.''
 
== Huge THANK YOU to our generous sponsors ==

Note that the optional, off-site dinners on Sunday and Tuesday are at your own expense.
 
== Location ==
The event will be in the [http://www.delphix.com/company/about-delphix/ Delphix office] in San Francisco:
 
[https://www.google.com/maps/preview#!q=604+Mission+St.+Suite+400%2C+San+Francisco%2C+CA+94105&data=!1m4!1m3!1d26473!2d-122.4224157!3d37.7867658!4m12!2m11!1m10!1s0x80858062b5adcc23%3A0xd7584093492239e6!3m8!1m3!1d12612!2d-122.3926051!3d37.7913156!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1 604 Mission Street, 4th floor, San Francisco, CA 94105]
 
Use the keypad to call Delphix and you will be buzzed in.  Google maps has pretty good [http://goo.gl/QyUHUj directions].  The easiest way to reach the Delphix SF office is by public transportation.  Transportation options, easiest listed first:
* BART to the Montgomery St. Station + 3 minute walk
* Caltrain to the 4th & King station + 25 minutes walk
* Caltrain to the 4th & King station + bus (routes 10, 30, or 45)
* drive + park in a lot (costs about $25/day e.g. 41 Tehama Street, 509 Howard Street, or 55 Hawthorne Street)
 
== Discussion Topics ==
'''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.  The most important things to discuss in this setting are:
 
# Contentious topics that we need to get widespread agreement on
# Reports of work in progress that need input from others
 
Topics that have been proposed:
* OpenZFS code repository (Matt)
** what code changes are needed to make this a success
** process & procedure (code review, testing, committers)
* Performance on full or fragmented pools (George, Ned, Alfred)
** block allocator improvements
* Portable implementation of FMA functionality for Linux & FreeBSD (e.g. for hot spare activation) (Brian)
* OpenZFS community organization (Karyn, Jordan, Matt)
* Storage tiering (Boris)
* How to investigate ZFS performance problems (Adam)
* Test suite (John K)
* ZFS Channel Programs (Chris, Max G, Matt)
* how to examine the ZFS on-disk format with MDB (Max B)
* Interactions with virtual memory subsystem (Brian, Jorgen)
** dealing with swap on zfs
** how the VM system handles large memory allocations
* Scalability on large systems, known bottlenecks (Kirill)
* How to educate new ZFS developers (Max G)
* Disk management - identification, drive spin down/up (John L)
* Resumable send/recv (Boris, Max G, Chris)
 
== Hackathon ==
The goals of the hackathon are:
* 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
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.
 
=== Hackathon ideas ===
''Add your idea and your name below.  Be prepared to explain your idea at the beginning of the hackathon and enlist/entice others to help with it.''
* Userland ioctls: support for send/recv (fd operations over the wire)  [[User:mahrens]]
* larger (1MB) blocksize: shouldn't be too hard if we ignore performance impact [[User:mahrens]]
* dedicated kmem_cache for dedup table entries
* stdin / stdout buffer to improve performance of zfs send and receive
* ZFS mechanism to override devices' reported sector size (512 vs 4k) (alex @ delphix)
* feature flags enhancements for send streams [[User:csiden]]
* set owner of all files within a filesystem with a ZFS property [[User:csiden]]
* dynamic taskqs for ZIO [[User:ahl]]
* towards Oracle Solaris ZFS compatibility [[User:ahl]]
* RAIDzN -- full, arbitrary RAID-7 [[User:ahl]]
* Testrunner suite running on other platforms (John Kennedy)
** or at least identify what is preventing it from running
 
== Registration ==
We are expecting everyone will be there to contribute/participate.
 
'''The sign up deadline has passed'''.  A few spots are available for late registration.  Mail [mailto:admin@open-zfs.org admin@open-zfs.org] if you would like to attend.
