The original (and only) dtrace.conf in 2008 was a smash hit-- even the analysts were raving! In pace with the Olympiad, it's time once again to bring the community together for dtrace.conf 2012! This Joyent-sponsored community event will be held on Tuesday, April 3rd at the Children's Creativity Museum, 4th and Howard (entrance behind the carousel) in downtown San Francisco.
As with the inaugural dtrace.conf, this will be a technical conference for people who are using DTrace, expanding its boundaries, and contributing to its growth and health. If you're ready to talk about what you found in technical detail – and how DTrace helped you (or didn't!) – we would love for you to join us at dtrace.conf.
A few short, rough video clips from the 2008 edition are here.
The 2012 edition will be streamed live. Sign up on the UStream channel to be reminded before the stream starts.
Speaker Info
Remember: If you're in the room, you're potentially a speaker. This will be done in unconference style, so every attendee should come prepared to present or otherwise lead a discussion or session of about 45 minutes. Note that "just using DTrace" is more than sufficient for leading a discussion or session.
Equipment available:
- projector
- NO whiteboard
