BSDCan, a BSD conference held in Ottawa, Canada, has quickly established itself as the technical conference for people working on and with 4.4BSD based operating systems and related projects. The organizers have found a fantastic formula that appeals to a wide range of people from extreme novices to advanced developers.
BSDCan 2008 will be held on 16-17 May 2008 at University of Ottawa, and will be preceded by two days of Tutorials on 14-15 May 2008.
I've given up the life of the free-lance consultant for the time being to take on a security officer role. It should be very interesting once I get the current crop of impending doom cleared from my plate and actually get involved in drilling into the corporate offerings and policies.
If I'm real lucky, I even get to start playing with all the good toys. Pen tests, vulnerability scans, patch management, etc. Should be a lot of fun (from a technical point of view) and hopefully I'll find it a pleasant change from Systems Administration, Network Design and Data Center Design.
The meetings, verifications and other administrivia will counterbalance the techie portions, but that's the price you pay to play in the field. Still, should make for a new and exciting career change.
