There is no specific time for each talk. Talks will start on Saturday at 12pm, and will be held in the order as listed here. There will be a pause between 14:00pm and 15:00pm, but apart from that, they will be held one after the other.
As there is no tight schedule, you can still submit talk proposals! You could even have spontaneous talks on the conference itself, provided you find an audience. Please send an e-mail to pkgsrccon-2013@pkgsrcCon.pkgsrc.org
[10 minutes]

release engineering. What must be done for a branch, what is the
procedure of branching, packaging, distributing and maintaining a
pkgsrc release?
Thomas Klausner, The NetBSD Foundation

Joyent operate a large, high-performance public cloud running on
SmartOS, their open source fork of illumos/OpenSolaris, with
third-party software provided by perhaps the largest pkgsrc
installation in the world. In this talk Jonathan will provide some
background to SmartOS and insight into pkgsrc development at Joyent.

DeforaOS is an Open Source project, aiming at improving the
overall user experience and possibilities offered by modern
Operating Systems. The main goal is to allow remote and secure
access to one's own resources, also when they are found on a
private desktop system at home and accessed from a mobile phone
over an untrusted network.
It notably proposes a desktop user environment, eventually able
to expose these features to the end user. Meanwhile, it aims at
being a lightweight, coherent, usable and portable environment
suitable for the platforms typically targeted by the pkgsrc
project.
Pierre Pronchery, The NetBSD Foundation

We will present a set of tools for the analysis and quality
assurance of FOSS distributions. These tools analyse meta-data of
packages (like dependencies, build-dependencies, conflicts, etc),
and answer questions like:
Ralf Treinen, Laboratoire Preuves, Programmes et Systèmes.
Université Paris Diderot, Paris, France.

Go is a new systems programming language with a focus on concurrency
and expressiveness. The Go programming language recently gained
support for running on NetBSD on the i386 (386) and x86_64 (amd64)
architectures. This support will be part of the upcoming Go 1.1
release. (FreeBSD had already been supported in the Go 1 release).
This talk gives an introduction to Go and presents some of its
benefits for systems and network server programming. It will then go
further into detail regarding its implementation on NetBSD from the
programmer's and from the admin's point of view.
Benny Siegert, The NetBSD Foundation, Google
[30 minutes]
pkglint (pkgtools/pkglint) is a tool to check for certain validity
and norming criteria of packages. Amitai Schlair will talk about
his recent work and plans for pkglint.
Amitai Schlair, The NetBSD Foundation

Introduce Ansible as system orchestration tool that supports the
Amazon EC2 cloud and NetBSD. Show how to get a basic NetBSD system
setup, an example database server, web application server and
example web application deployed with Ansible. Introduce tools to
use Amazon's Xen-based EC2 cloud from NetBSD and with Ansible. Show
the roadmap to combine all those tools and deploy NetBSD-based
database- and webservers with the example application.
Hubert Feyrer, The NetBSD Foundation
