[bsdcan-announce] BSDCan Updates

[BSDCan Information]

Hello BSDCan folks,

Twenty-two days! If you are coming from a country other than the
USA, you should start thinking about getting your eTA Real Soon
Now(tm) - they're quite backed up right now.

While the committee's goal is to keep BSDCan largely traditional, you
should be aware of a few changes.

Most everyone goes for shwarma at some point, so we might as well
bring it to you. For Friday lunch! If you registered a guest, they are
welcome to join us for lunches and snacks.

Speaking of guests, if you register them they get a shirt and badge as
well as lunch. If the guest shirt option wasn't on the form when you
registered, contact registration at bsdcan.org with their size. Fitted
shirts are available.

If this is your first BSDCan, try to come to the newcomers session at
6PM Thursday in the Hacker Lounge (in the lobby lounge of the U90
Residence Hall). It's only ten minutes long, and at the end
experienced volunteers can guide you to the people you want to meet
and the places you want to see.

If this isn't your first BSDCan, and you want to welcome newcomers and
help ease them into our community, please come to the Hacker Lounge at
6PM Thursday for the newcomers session.

Tutorial attendees are sharing a lunch buffet with the FreeBSD
Developer Summit rather than the traditional boxed lunches.

If you haven't seen the schedule, take a look at
https://indico.bsdcan.org/event/1/timetable/#all.detailed. Five
tutorials, four talk tracks, and on Tuesday night: a goat.

We look forward to seeing you all in Ottawa!

Regards,
Michael W Lucas
BSDCan 2024 Con Chair
