Conference on Open Source), to make the open source carnival more
exciting. The mostly change of COSCUP in 2007 is, the conference is
co-organized by all local communities in Taiwan, we hope to enlarge the
participation of local communities during such kind of cooperation. Just
like the spirit of COSCUP, in this conference, you can be both attendee
and promoter, and also involve the operation of the conference.
The major topics in COSCUP 2007 including web-based platform and embedded
system due to the popularity of Web 2.0 and OLPC; the Chinese session,
Lightning Talk and System session are the most interesting topics for
years. There will be some presentations and talks about FreeBSD.
The program is attractive just like before, we invite not only big ones
in the community but also developers of non-famous local OSS projects,
to get more people involved and make OSS more brilliant in Taiwan.Systems 2007http://www.systems-world.de/id/58547/2007102320071027GermanyMunichMesse MünchenSystems is a four day IT fair with more than 50000

FreeBSD.Course: Building and Running an Open Source Communityhttp://www.unex.berkeley.edu/cat/course1557.html20071032007103U.S.A.San FranciscoUC Extension San Francisco: Room 216, South of Market CenterThe BSD community started at UC Berkeley in the late
1970's. Through the 1980's, the BSD software was developed and
released from Berkeley. In 1992, Berkeley made its final
release, 4.4BSD-Lite, an open-source version of BSD. Since that
time, independent development has continued by the FreeBSD,
NetBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin, and Dragonfly projects. This talk
traces the history and structure of the BSD community from its
start as a small group of paid staff at Berkeley up through the
thousands of volunteer developers that make up the FreeBSD
Project of today. It describes how the development structure set
up at Berkeley was expanded to create a self-organizing project
that supports an ever growing and changing group of developers
around the world.Course: FreeBSD Kernel Internalshttp://www.unex.berkeley.edu/cat/course927.html20079292007113U.S.A.BerkeleyUC Extension Berkeley: Room 211, Golden Bear BuildingThis course will provide a firm background in the
FreeBSD kernel. The course will cover basic kernel services,
process structure, the FreeBSD jail facility for hosting virtual
machines, scheduling, signal handling, and virtual and physical
memory management. The kernel I/O structure will be described
showing how I/O is multiplexed, special devices are handled,
character processing is performed, and the buffer pool is
managed. The implementation of the filesystem and its
capabilities, including soft updates and snapshots, will be
described. The filesystem interface will then be described to
show how it can be used to support multiple filesystem types
such as Sun Microsystem's Network File System (NFS). The course
will also cover the FreeBSD socket-based network architecture,
layering, and implementation. Socket communications primitives
and internal layering will be discussed, with emphasis on the
interfaces between layers; the TCP/IP implementation will be
used as an example. A discussion of routing issues will be
included. Other system-related topics include performance
measurement, system tuning, and security issues. The
presentations will emphasize code organization, data structure
navigation, and algorithms. It will not cover machine-specific
parts of the system, such as device drivers.

Distributions) from one of its key developers, who brings the
history to life, complete with anecdotes and footnotes to the
historical narrative. The BSD community began at the UC Berkeley
in the late 1970s. You'll hear about the triumphs and defeats of
the project and its releases during its heyday in the 1980s. The
Berkeley era concludes with the tumultuous lawsuit, ultimately
settled in Berkeley's favor, which allowed the final release in
1992 of 4.4BSD-Lite, an open-source version of BSD. The talk
includes a brief commentary on the FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
Darwin, and Dragonfly projects that took their genesis from the
release of 4.4BSD-Lite.OpenExpo 2007http://www.openexpo.ch/20079192007920SwitzerlandZurichEvent550 HallThe goal of OpenExpo is the promotion of Open Source
