IMHO, desired features are efficient P2P classification, improvement of IPFIREWALL_NAT specially related to NAT-pool and outgoing balancing, as well as general outgoing "per session" balancing features on IPFW similar to "route-to" and "sticky-address" on pf. Also, a feature to keep track of peers in a firewall session would be very useful in combination with a number of features of IPFW, specially IPS. Hope someone has the time and desire to do something like that. -- Patrick Tracanelli -------------- next part -------------- An embedded message was scrubbed...

It isn't exactly a "BSDDay", but the last year (2008) I hold the first BSDConf'08 in Barcelona, Spain. As I am just riding the event, I do not think I can do this year.

May I ask what guys in organization are you talking about? Who's behind it? Who's doing the "talks and presentations"? Who'll be reviewing the papers sent in? Are you a just a group of people? Do you guys have a legal status in Argentina (association/foundation)? Are you related to some institution (University perhaps?)? Do you guys, as a group/association/foundation have an official web page or something to get a reference from you? Are you guys, in any way, related to Bizarre Design (http://www.bizarredesign.com.ar, who claims to have "Designed & Developed" on the page but failed to mention who are the copyright holders of every single logo on the page they "Designed & Developed" (excep for the BSDday logo) ... unless they are the copyright holders of puffy, bestie, the FreeBSD horny ball, fred and the netbsd flag logo and everything I know is just wrong :s )? Are you guys, related to OpenBSDeros.org ? I'm asking because it's already been a week and a half and the site still remains operational, and in the same situation ... that is, with no info at all ... :s -- Blessings Gonzalo Nemmi From dan at langille.org Fri Feb 20 07:48:11 2009 From: dan at langille.org (Dan Langille) Date: Fri Feb 20 07:48:19 2009 Subject: BSDday-AR In-Reply-To: <200902191520.27257.gnemmi@gmail.com> References: <200902191520.27257.gnemmi@gmail.com> Message-ID: <499ED0B7.5010201@langille.org> Gonzalo Nemmi wrote: > On Friday 13 February 2009 10:59:25 am Sd?vtaker wrote: >> I checked your site, i like it, easy to read, easy to navigate. >> I forwaded it to the other guys in organization here so they can see it. >> :-) Damian >> >> On Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 04:30, TooMany Secrets wrote: >>> On Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 12:45 AM, Sd?vtaker wrote: >>>> Until now, only Brazil had BSDDay before, Argentina is second country >>>> doing it and someone got the .com domain to try centralize the event >>>> and set more places for the coming years. >>> It isn't exactly a "BSDDay", but the last year (2008) I hold the first >>> BSDConf'08 in Barcelona, Spain. >>> As I am just riding the event, I do not think I can do this year.

Maybe you took it as it was something personal or bad, but the thing is that I happen to Live in Argentina, Buenos Aires, Cap. Fed. ... the very same place the BSDday is supposed to take place .. and maybe .. if they have the right answers to those questions, I could pitch in ... a lot btw ... and get others to pitch in too ... Now, I know that they still have two months to the event, but I also know that my job doesn't allow me to have real spare time (let alone the wife and the kids...). I may be of help, today, tomorrow, the next week, who knows? .. But I _do_ know, that I can't compromise my word without at least a 3 weeks in advanced window .. So ... the fact that the event is still two months away is a plus for me .. that was why I went in "hard" on them ... Sorry if I was misunderstood.

The site is waiting for place confirmation, the place is waiting for some burocratic stuff in university, so we hope to put all together asap, but there is a lot of interaction and different parties with different times :-/ It is our first time trying to work a event of this magnitude.

University of Buenos Aires will host one of the 2 days and the other one will be host by colectivo la tribu, argentina.com will provide host to all the inet services needed, so i hope the new site will be up and running in few days with the wiki, and mailing lists. I will come up with urls ASAP, waiting for deploy and DNS updates. :-) Damian Vicino On Fri, Feb 20, 2009 at 15:40, Sd?vtaker wrote: > We got a couple of organizations all working together (coordination of > the different parties takes time, specially when one is a legal assoc > and one is a university) there is too some non-official organizations > like openbsderos.org who are taking all the work of site and wiki. > The site is waiting for place confirmation, the place is waiting for > some burocratic stuff in university, so we hope to put all together > asap, but there is a lot of interaction and different parties with > different times :-/ > It is our first time trying to work a event of this magnitude. > Damian > -- Sd?vtaker prays to Rikku goddess for a good treasure.
