For BSDCan 2024, we are migrating from a “Dan Langille does everything” model to a Redundant Array of Independent Dans. The papers committee will not change at this time, but we have a group of people who will do the work of getting space, arranging accommodations, paying bills, and suchforth. The current team is:
- Coordinator, Chair and Whip Operator: Michael Lucas
- Business Organization: Colin Percival, Allan Jude
- In-Con University Wrangling: Patrick McEvoy, Andrew Fengler
- Pre-Con University Wrangling: Adam Thompson, Patrick McEvoy, Andrew Fengler
- Streaming: Patrick McEvoy, Andrew Fengler
- Travel Coordinator: Adam Thompson, Michael Williams
- Accommodations Coordinator: Adam Thompson, Michael Williams
- Papers Shepherd: Michael W Lucas
- Local Team: Paul Chostvek, Michael Williams, Diane Bruce
- Web Infrastructure: Andrew Fengler
- Sponsors: Michael Dexter
- Family Tourism: Elizabeth Lucas, Selene Witcher
- Registration System: David Maxwell
- Social Media: Pamela Mosiejczuk
- Auctioneer, Voice of Experience: Dan Langille
- Poor Bastard who Said He’d Do Anything, so Lucas is Giving Him All the Scut Work: John Hixson
Over the last two decades, BSDCan has become an essential part of the BSD ecosystem. The goal is to establish a sustainable team, with backups in case of illness and a path for the experienced people to train new volunteers. Dan is aging like a fine wine, yes, but Lucas is aging like milk. We are building the future we want.
