Other ways to sponsor

If you are interested in supporting the event through non-monetary means, we would be happy to match the sponsorship packages to the effort.

  • Video record and stream the presentations
  • Photograph the event
  • Help with setup/administrative tasks related to the conference

Thanks to our generous sponsors for their help:

  • Hackathon prizes - Thank you Nexenta!
  • Conference branding, t-shirt and banner design - Thank you Aaron Holding!
  • Design and create conference badges - Thank you Syneto!

Hackathon

The goals of the hackathon are:

  • to get people working with ZFS engineers from outside their normal circles
  • to start work on some of the projects we'd like to accomplish

Therefore, we should plan to work in small teams of 2-3 engineers. The team members could be pair-programming, splitting up the work into discrete tasks for each person, or advising / implementing.

Hackathon ideas

Add your idea and your name below. Be prepared to explain your idea at the beginning of the hackathon and enlist/entice others to help with it.
