[SANE-UG] CFT - pkgsrcCon 2017

[Sevan Janiyan]

Hello,
This summer the pkgsrc[1] project is holding its annual developer
conference in London at the British Computer Society in association with
the Open Source Specialist Group[2] on Saturday the 1st of July and a
hack day at the London Hack Space[3] on Sunday the 2nd of July. While
the conference is primarily about pkgsrc, it's on the topic of building
& packaging open source software in general. I'm currently contacting
different communities to raise awareness of the event & to ask folks to
submit talks on such topics if they are interested.

There will be a formal announcement for attendees soon (it's free & open
to all) but in the meantime, if you would like to give a talk on the
subject of building or packaging open source software (the more
technical the better) please send your submission to se...@NetBSD.org.

Please include a title, abstract and a short bio in the submission.

For those not familiar with pkgsrc, it's a cross platform packaging
system by the NetBSD project, originally forked from FreeBSD ports but
with a portability twist added to cover a diverse range of operating
systems. It enables you to have such things as the same version of
software built with matching set of patches across a wide range of
operating systems and to use the same workflow on said operating systems.

Regards,


Sevan
