Our mission is to advocate, support, and improve the use of FreeBSD on laptops and desktops for both business and personal users."
Mostly informal discussion, ways to get involved and a-day-in-the-life of using FreeBSD as a primary desktop system, including a short DJ-BSD redux from last BSDCan.
Charlie Li is FreeBSD Ports committer focusing on GTK-based desktops, Python stuff, a little Rust and of course ham radio (callsign: K3CL). Sometimes works at a transit agency. Otherwise lurking across eastern PA with occasional trolling elsewhere.
