OpenZFS Dev Summit 2018

Our sixth annual OpenZFS Developer Summit will be held September 10-11 in San Francisco. As with previous years: The goal of the event is to foster cross-community discussions of OpenZFS work and to make progress on some of the projects we have proposed. This 2-day event consists of a day of presentation and a 1-day hackathon.

The event will be live-streamed starting Monday at 9AM.

Reminder that the #Code of Conduct applies to online communications over the livestream as well.

We'll also record the sessions and post them on YouTube in the coming weeks.

We accept donations to cover our ongoing costs.

OpenZFS is an associated project of SPI (Software in the Public Interest). SPI is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization which handles our donations, finances, and legal holdings. You can donate through paypal using the link below:

Presentations

The first day of the conference will be set aside for presentations. If you would like to give a talk, submit a proposal via email to matt@mahrens.org, including a 1-2 paragraph abstract. We welcome proposals for any kinds of talks related to ZFS, and we are particularly interested in fostering a diverse group of speakers. In the past, the most popular talks have featured internal details of new or upcoming features in OpenZFS. If you're new to the OpenZFS community or just new to giving talks at conferences, mentorship is available to help make your presentation the best it can be.

Matt Ahrens has reviewed all of the submissions, selected talks that will be most interesting for the audience, and notified presenters. The registration fee will be waived for speakers.

Hackathon

Will be on Day 2 of the event (Sept 11, 2018) at the Delphix SF office.
