A Brief look back at 2015
- As we start the show this week, we begin with a brief look back at BSD in 2015, brought to us by Larry at FOSS force.
- Aside from his issue with tap-to-click on the touchpad, his PC-BSD experience has been pretty good. (Larry, if you hear this, jump on #pcbsd on FreeNode and we will lend a hand)
- He mentions that this really isn’t his first time running BSD, apparently back in ye-olden days he got NetBSD up and running on a PowerBook G3, until an update brought that experience to abrupt ending.
- He gives a shout-out to the FreeBSD Foundation as being a great go-to source for wrapup on the previous year in FreeBSD land, while also mentioning the great 4.4 release of DragonFly, and some of the variants, such as RetroBSD and LiteBSD
- He leaves us with a tease for 2016 that work is ongoing on Twitter to port over Mopidy, a python based extensible music server ***

- There are quite a few items on the agenda, including non BSD specific conferences, such as SCALE / Fosdem and more.
- Take a look and see, you may be able to find something close your location where you can come hang out with other BSD developers.
- (or better yet), if a linux conference is coming to your town, think about submitting a BSD talk!
- Additionally, if getting BSD Certification is something on your 2016 resolutions, you can often take the test at one of these shows, avoiding the need to travel to a testing center. ***
