There seems to have been a spike of interest in BSDs on Hacker News lately; BSDCan is the leading BSD conference and has been held annually (pandemic excepted) since 2004. I'm on the organizing team and will be delivering a talk about FreeBSD 15.0 release engineering this year.
Happy to answer any questions here! And I'll be even happier if we get a large HN cohort showing up -- the conference is open to everyone, including people who are simply BSD-curious; you don't have to be a kernel hacker.
