    The best part of any conference isn't the talks - it's the people you meet between them. This is the space for everything conference-related: announcements, trip reports, talk reviews, travel tips, who's going where, and the conversations that started at a dinner table and never quite finished. Pick the specific conference below, or post here for general discussion - CFPs, new events, or anything that doesn't fit a single conference. See you there. Or here, at least.

    EuroBSDCon - the annual European BSD conference, a different city every year, and always a reason to pack a bag. Share your talk proposals, trip reports, session reviews, or just coordinate who's arriving when and where the best dinner spot is. If you've been, you know. If you haven't - this is your sign.

    BSDCan, Ottawa - the one conference where the hallway track might be better than the main track. And the main track is excellent. Discuss talks, share trip plans, post reviews, or reminisce about that one conversation at the Father and Sons that turned into a two-hour deep dive on ZFS internals.

    The Billboard just got a hallway track. We've added a Conferences section with dedicated subcategories for the three major BSD conferences: EuroBSDCon, BSDCan, and AsiaBSDCon. Whether you're preparing a talk proposal, looking for travel tips, writing a trip report, or trying to figure out who's going this year - now there's a place for that conversation to live longer than a Fediverse thread. More conferences may be added over time based on community interest. If you think something is missing, let us know.

    Secure by default, no compromises. Discuss anything related to OpenBSD here: pf, pledge, unveil, httpd, relayd, installations, hardware support, or just why you chose OpenBSD and never looked back. Whether you run it as your daily driver or as the silent guardian of your network, this is your table.

    This is where the BSD Cafe staff shares news, updates, service changes, and important notices about our community and infrastructure. If you want to stay in the loop about what's happening behind the counter, you're in the right place. Keep an eye on this category - we'll post here whenever something changes, breaks, gets fixed, or gets launched. Discussion is welcome: if you have questions about an announcement, just reply here. For general chat, head over to the BSD Cafe Lounge.

    Welcome to the main BSD discussion area of the Billboard. Whether you run FreeBSD on production servers, OpenBSD on your firewall, NetBSD on that old SPARC in the closet, or DragonflyBSD because you love HAMMER - this is your space. Pick the subcategory that matches your flavor, or post here for cross-BSD topics: comparisons, migrations, general questions, or anything that doesn't fit neatly under a single project. No question is too basic, no setup is too weird. Pull up a chair.

    HAMMER time. This is the home for all things DragonflyBSD: HAMMER2, virtual kernels, performance tuning, and the unique design choices that set DragonflyBSD apart. A smaller community, but that makes every conversation count. Welcome!

    Built for the server room. OmniOS Community Edition is the go-to illumos distribution for production deployments: lean, stable, and focused on what matters. Discuss zones, ZFS, networking, LX-branded zones, or your production architecture here.

    Where the sun never sets on open-source Unix. illumos carries forward the legacy of OpenSolaris with technologies that the rest of the world is still catching up to: ZFS, DTrace, Zones, and Crossbow networking. Whether you're running a home lab or a production environment, this is where you'll find fellow illumos enthusiasts. Pick your distribution below, or post here for general illumos discussion, kernel topics, and cross-distribution questions.

    Lightweight, different, and proud of it. Tribblix takes illumos in its own direction with a unique packaging system and a minimalist philosophy. If you run it, you already know why. Share your experience, ask questions, and connect with others who appreciate doing things a little differently.

    Zones. ZFS. bhye. KVM. The cloud's best-kept secret. SmartOS brings the full power of illumos to hypervisor and container workloads. Discuss installations, vmadm, imgadm, Triton, or just share how you're using SmartOS to quietly run circles around the competition.

    Yes, there's a Linux section at the BSD Cafe. We are inclusive! Many of us work with Linux alongside BSD in production, at home, or both. This is the place to discuss Linux distributions, tools, kernel news, or anything Linux-related - especially if you're coming from Linux and curious about BSD, or running both. The coffee is the same, the conversation is good, and the door is always open.
