Yesterday gave I a talk for FreeBSD, my first ever for FreeBSD. The aim and goal was to inform people how “easy” you can become an official member of the FreeBSD development team. Okay it costs time to invest, but you can help a very decent community :-)

Just before the presentation, while preparing mentally for the presentation. I noticed by best friend coming in (Rik! thanks for being there) but even more surprises were around the corner. My father also found the way to Utrecht and he visited my presentation, which was very cool to see. The presentation for mine was a bit over his head, but he liked my presentation :-) . Sadly he and Rik needed to go immediatly after the presentation, but it was good to see them both! Thanks Dad and Rik!

The presentation was in dutch and the feedback that I got was positive! I had some points for improval but overall it was nice. You can see the presentation below (warning, typo’s and dutch language is included);

Together with Wim vd Putte, Cor Hilbrink and Paul Schenkeveld I filled the chairs for the next meetup in this style. We have a few ideas, and I will try my best with the guys to make it happen again. Thanks to the NLLGG Linux Community for letting us share the resources. Marcel / Fabrice thanks a lot!
