Writing about FreeBSD

As a project we have notoriously great documentation. The handbook and man pages make it easy to find out how to do anything you might want to on a FreeBSD system, whether it is setting up a network or debugging kernel locking.

Explaining the changes we make to improve FreeBSD? We are less good at communicating what we are up to.

For the last 6 months I have been writing regular status reports about changes in the FreeBSD network stack using a tool guided approach to automate finding and managing what to write about.

In this talk I’ll explain how I am trying to improve communication around FreeBSD development and how you can get involved in writing about FreeBSD.
