       | click `Room 1` or `Room 2` and I just get sent back to the home
       | page.

         | I tried too and the same thing happened. But it doesn't start
         | until tonight (really the first talk is tomorrow) so maybe that
         | is why?

       | Neat! Marshall Kirk McKusick is giving a talk. He's the author of
       | some books including one of my favorite books, The Design and
       | Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System, 2nd Edition
       | (2014). I bought that book when it came out and I love it but I
       | still haven't finished reading the whole thing. Didn't realize it
       | was that many years ago since it came out.

         | Kirk gives great talks, I highly recommend him as a speaker.
         | His talks about the history of BSD are amazing. I love the
         | story about how a box of tapes containing the highly optimized
         | Vax VMS context switch code fell off a truck that was driving
         | past UCB, and they just had to open the box and look at what
         | was on the tapes to find the proper owner..

       | I really respect how we have these little community pods like
       | EuroBSDCon. Just tons of people in the same room sharing ideas
       | they're passionate about.
       | 
       | Which platform are they using to host the online meeting, by the
       | way? A quick skim doesn't say much, and those pictures are not
       | friendly on my mobile data.

         | The conference itself uses BigBlueButton. In case of issues
         | please try a different browser. We've had good luck with
         | Chrome, but expect Safari and Firefox to work as well."
