Last day at BSDCan 2016 - conference

(followup on previous article)

The last day of BSDCan is always special: all talks start at 10AM instead of the usual 9AM to account for the preceding night, generally filled with beer and food for some reasons :) It is also when the famous auction is taking place. During the closing session, Dan will auction a few items and the money given to the Ottawa Mission charity. He does that also with PGcon, the equivalent of BSDCan for Postgresql.

Auctioning

But for now, the talks!

EuroBSDCon Conference begins!

Very busy day today at the EuroBSDCon 2014 conference in Sofia, Bulgaria as I had to chair one entire track from morning to evening.

That means assuring the speakers are there on time, introducing each of them in a few words and managing questions after the talk is finished (while managing the time of course).
