Everything is ready, so I’m going to leave for Athens to attend the “Athens Digital Week 2008” event tomorrow. Two short presentations have been prepared, and sent to the organizers. I am not sure if we will have a lot of time to present both of them, but we can definitely try.

The topics of the short talks and their accompanying presentation material are:

• “The FreeBSD Project”
• “The Greek FreeBSD Documentation Team”

What is absolutely amazing though is that two out of three of the current Greek FreeBSD Committer population are going to be there. Manolis is probably too far to reach us in time for the event, but prof. Diomidis Spinellis and me will be there. Yay!

Extracting useful info from FreeBSD malloc tracing

The FreeBSD version of the functions in the malloc() and free() family includes hooks that can dump “utrace” entries for the ktrace utility. The tracing features can be enabled by setting the “U” malloc option.
