com> Subject: FreeBSD 60 Code Reading Class For those of you living in the Bay Area, I am organizing a FreeBSD code reading seminar to be run in Berkeley early next year (dates below). I would really appreciate having some of the committers attend and participate as I plan to debate architectural issues as well as discuss implementation details. Committers are eligible for a 50% discount, send me email for details. I do plan to video tape the lectures and make them available on DVD-R in June for those of you that are interested but unable to attend. Because of the colossal amount of time that it takes to prepare for and run this class, I only do it about once every six years. Kirk McKusick =-=-=-=-=-= Upcoming FreeBSD Kernel Code Reading Evening Course The FreeBSD Kernel Internals: An Intensive Code Walkthrough'' course will be taught during the Spring of 2006. The class will be held at the historic Hillside Club at 2286 Cedar Strett, Berkeley, CA 94709 just three blocks north of the Berkeley campus once per week from 6:30PM to 9:45PM starting Wednesday February 22nd and finishing Tuesday June 13th.
html Description This course will provide a detailed background in the FreeBSD kernel. The course will cover all the basic parts of the system including process managment, memory management, scheduling, I/O structure, local and remote filesystems, and networking. The main emphasis will be on the machine independent parts of the system; little time will be spent on the machine specific parts of the system such as device drivers. Where machine specific topics are covered, the Intel PC architecture will be used for illustration. Course Materials Each student receives a CD-ROM containing the FreeBSD 60 kernel sources with tags database, plus a printed copy of the discussed files from the FreeBSD 60 kernel sources (two volumes totalling approximately 1200 pages). Course Organization The evening course meets once per week for fifteen weeks. The majority of the lecture time is spent reading kernel source code.
