I’m Just the Barista
The spirit of the BSD Cafe is to try to create a serene, open, friendly, positive, and welcoming environment for all who want to be a part of it.
I am just the Barista.
I can't solve the world's problems, but I can try to keep the counter clean, keep the machines running, serve a good BSD coffee, and ensure that, at least here, friends can find a moment of peace and constructive sharing.
We need more bars and fewer shopping malls.

Where Have You Been for the Last 20 Years?
A personal journey from 20 years of self-doubt to discovering the welcoming BSD community at BSDCan. Sometimes courage comes later in life.

outofcreativityIndeed, I can confirm @stefano ate like a grown-up.

This morning I was thinking about something: one of the reasons why every enthusiast should consider going to a BSDCon is simple.
I eat a lot and I still come back slimmer 😄
2024 - EuroBSDCon: ate twice as much as usual, came back from Dublin 1 kg lighter.
2025 - BSDCan: breakfasts that could cover a whole day’s calories, huge delicious meals... came back from Ottawa 0.5 kg lighter.
2025 - EuroBSDCon: double breakfast (sweet + savory), massive lunches, delicious dinners (including a huge pizza, as @outofcreativity, @angie and @mwl can confirm) and still came back 0.5 kg lighter.
Positive emotions burn calories.
So come to BSDCons: you’ll come back happy and slimmer!

Michael DexterI jokingly asked, on a channel “What is @bsdcan?” and got:
“#BSDcon is a conference to support BSD and its contributors. It's great and I hope to attend someday. I wish we'd built our ISP on it thirty years ago lol but I chose some proprietary garbage because it promised simplicity and failed miserably”
BSD Fund#BSDCon A/V Funding Update with @bsdtv:
The second track worth of A/V hardware is FULLY FUNDED by you and the @FreeBSDFoundation
This hardware was used with great success at @EuroBSDcon in Dublin and at the @OpenZFS User and Developer Summit.
#Netflix has come through with a THIRD track worth of equipment and today…
An AWESOMNONOMOUS donor contributed $250 towards the second camera purchase.
You in?
More about the 2024 @bsdtv #BSDCon push: All of this is about driving down and ideally eliminating A/V RENTAL COSTS. The technology has slowed down nicely for some key components and we should get years’ of use out of them. The “big room “ 1160 @bsdcan used a trial configuration with great results , short of the surprise that my camera only speaks 29.97 FPS! But jhb@ helped Patrick and Andrew work around that.
