Conferences are fun and useful. Find one that suits you and get to hang out with fellow BSD Geeks!

@pitrh Still not over Usenix killing the only conferences they had that I got appreciable value from.

@pitrh thanks, incidentally 'Explaining FreeBSD' lacks the author's name:

Greg Lehey

The earliest edition in FreeBSD archives: <https://docs-archive.freebsd.org/doc/4.3-RELEASE/usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/articles/explaining-bsd/>

<https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=274181> – Authors not suitably credited (as far as I know, all articles are bugged).

@grahamperrin yes, that piece is definitely Greg's work, and it used to say so back in the day. I'm not sure why or when they decided to keep author names only in commit logs.
