Beastie’s coming home

Join us Nov.11-12 to be a part of history #MeetBSDCA

ORIGINS

MeetBSD can be traced back to its humble roots as a local workshop for BSD developers and users, hosted annually in Poland since 2004. Since then, MeetBSD’s popularity has spread, and it’s now widely recognized as its own conference with participants from all over the world.

TRADITION

The first MeetBSD California was held at Google HQ in 2008. The 2010, 2012, and 2014 conferences were held at Hacker Dojo in Mountain View, Yahoo! HQ, and Western Digital. To this day, MeetBSD California continues to be a biennial tradition in the San Francisco Bay Area.

FORMAT

MeetBSD 2016 uses a mixed unConference format featuring both scheduled talks and community-driven events such as birds-of-a-feather meetings, lightning talks, and speed geeking sessions. Speakers are to be determined – stay tuned for more information!

WHERE & WHEN

This year, MeetBSD will be held at UC Berkeley’s Clark Kerr Campus on November 11th and 12th.

MAP and PARKING

Conference Venue

MeetBSD will take place at UC Berkeley’s Clark Kerr campus at 2601 Warring Street in Berkeley.

The main conference sessions will take place in the historic Krutch Theatre. There are a variety of other rooms of different sizes on campus, allowing for unConference activities and breakout groups, as well as an extensive “hallway track”. UC Berkeley is a world-renowned university and the birthplace of the BSD Operating System. We could think of no better place to hold the 5th installment of MeetBSD.

Beastie is coming home!
