    As a BSDCan sponsor, has a couple free registrations. I'd like to give these away to people who email me, before the end of May, saying (a) why they would like to attend, and (b) why they can't afford it.

    If anyone wants to make a final bitcoin payment to their account, you've got about 24 hours before I unplug those bits. (It would have happened earlier, but I was busy with a different set of updates to the website yesterday...)

    Tarsnap wouldn't exist without open source software (including, but not limited to, FreeBSD). Would your startup exist without open source software? Do you contribute back to support it? If the answers to those questions are no, maybe you should give it some thought.

    The usual caveats about 1.0 releases apply - may be some rough edges, please report any issues, etc - but it has come a long way in 3 years.

    If you've ever complained that needs you to use a command line, try the GUI. Seriously, please try it. I think you'll like it.

    I've just released GUI version 1.0 stable. Grab it on Github and take it for a spin!

    Tarsnap is proud to be a sponsor of a conference where important work like this gets done.

    A very productive Hacker Lounge session tonight. This will wind up in most BSDs.
