Hello,

New Talk

It gives me great pleasure to announce a new talk:

FreeBSD: A brief history of the early days, by Rodney W. Grimes
Rod Grimes, involved with early FreeBSD, will give a brief history of the early days.
Rod will talk about the time from the pre-patch-kit days up to the 2.x releases, with some mysterious history gleaned from the repo logs.

PGP Key Signing Party

We will be having a PGP Key Signing Party at BSDCan 2016. It will happen
during lunch on Saturday June 11th 2016, from 12:45pm-1:30pm.

A GPG keyring with all the public keys on the key list will be posted at

collected.
