In recognition of his accomplishments and in memory of his work and dedication to the BSD community, EuroBSDcon Foundation is offering a travel grant in his name.

Paul was one of the few – if not the only one – to have attended all EuroBSDcon conferences since their inception in 2001. Besides his many contributions to BSD in general and the EuroBSD conferences in particular, he established the EuroBSDcon Foundation in 2010 to ensure continuity for many more conferences.

If you are keen on attending this year’s conference and require financial support, please consider applying for this grant by filling out the contact form until 15th of June 2018, stating who you are, what you are doing with BSD, and why you should receive the grant.

The EuroBSDcon Foundation board will consider all valid submissions in its sole discretion and communicate its selection by end of June. The selected person will receive travel expense reimbursement and hotel accommodation during the conference as well as free entrance to the conference and social event.

The EuroBSDcon program committee is inviting BSD developers and users to submit innovative and original talk proposals not previously presented at other European conferences. Topics of interest to the conference include, but are not limited to applications, architecture, implementation, performance and security of BSD-based operating systems, as well as topics concerning the economic or organizational aspects of BSD use. Presentations are expected to be 45 minutes and are to be delivered in English.

Call for Tutorial Proposals

The EuroBSDcon program committee is also inviting qualified practitioners in their field to submit proposals for half or full day tutorials on topics relevant to development, implementation and use of BSD-based systems.

Half-day tutorials are expected to be 2.5 to 3 hours and full-day tutorials 5 to 6 hours. The tutorials and talks are to be held in English.

Proposals should be sent through the registration system at https://registration.eurobsdcon.org.

They should contain a short and concise text description in about 100 words. The submission should also include a short CV of the speaker and an estimate of the expected travel expenses.
