The performance@ mailing list exists to provide a place for hackers, administrators, and/or concerned parties to discuss performance related topics pertaining to FreeBSD. Acceptable topics includes talking about FreeBSD installations that are either under high load, are experiencing performance problems, or are pushing the limits of FreeBSD. Concerned parties that are willing to work toward improving the performance of FreeBSD are highly encouraged to subscribe to this list. This is a highly technical list ideally suited for experienced FreeBSD users, hackers, or administrators interested in keeping FreeBSD fast, robust, and scalable. To subscribe, please visit the freebsd-performance@ web interface.
Majordomo served its purpose well, but has been retired in favor of Mailman. It is now possible to browse through the authoritative list of mailing lists by heading over to http://lists.FreeBSD.org/mailman/listinfo or by browsing through the handbook's section on mailing lists. A big thanks to Peter Wemm is in order for spending the time to seamlessly convert the various lists over to Mailman, thank you.

BSD Conference Japan 2002 was held in Tokyo on November 23rd, 2002. During the conference FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD folks in Japan got together to discuss various topics of mutual interest. In addition, Apple Computer, Inc. gave us excellent lectures about Mac OS X and Rendezvous. Matsui Securities Co.,Ltd, Yahoo Japan Corporation, and SRS SAKURA Internet Inc. gave case studies of how FreeBSD is used in their production environments. Brains Corporation gave a talk on mmEye, which is equipped with 32bit RISC CPU SH-3 and runs NetBSD.
The event report published by Mainichi Communications inc., can be found at MYCOM PCWEB (but sorry, Japanese only). There were 172 attendees at the conference. We are pleased with this turnout, considering that this was the first attempt to hold such an event in Japan.
