Actually, this was a presentation I attended last year. So the slides
already exist. You can also grab their old paper at
http://people.freebsd.org/~brooks/papers/bsdcon2003/ but this is a bit
out-dated.

My advice would be to try and contact Mr. Brooks Davis directly. If
you can't find him, try and send an email to the organisers of BSDCan
from http://www.bsdcan.org/2008/contact.php. I believe you should talk
to Dan Langille on the BSDCan commitee
http://www.bsdcan.org/2008/committee.php

Good luck and have fun! Your project seems quite interesting :)
