at least it wasn’t at Cisco conference
but you are right, we’re familiar with pfsense so it felt kinda redundant. i’ve never been to bsdcon so i don’t know what kind of public is in the attendance. still, i’d imagine/hope pfsense to be well known enough not to need this kind of introduction

Oh, and MxxCon: Friendly crowd? You couldn’t hear Henning Brauer heckling me. Those OpenBSD developers…. Heck he was even my roommate there! Kidding, wasn’t bad, I went out to the bar with Henning that night.

Thanks for the feedback.

I’m sure my voice was a bit shaky.

MxxCon: that’s something we always struggle with – at BSDCan one year we went right into presenting the topic at hand with very little introduction to the project, and a lot of the feedback forms included “need more intro to the project” or something along those lines. So here I added that, and now you say it’s too much. I would suspect that from this audience here though, you guys are familiar with the project. The people at the BSD conferences mostly know at least a little about the project, though of the audience probably only half of them have much familiarity.

The presentation before me ran over in time, so I probably sped through some things more than I otherwise would have in trying to keep to schedule. That and this was back when I still had another full time job (pfSense is my job now), leaving time extremely scarce and I literally finished the slides sitting in the back of the room during the presentation prior to mine. So I wasn’t as prepared as I would have liked (hence the shaky voice).

Great talk chris! I hope more of the tech talks that you and scott do at various conferences become available in the future. I enjoyed this one very much

great presentation tho a bit too general.
should’ve spend a bit less time on background of pfsense and more about the actual perimeter redundancy.

you shouldn’t be nervous about this. you are in a friendly crowd. they won’t throw tomatoes at you

Well done Chris !
Your voice is a bit shaking ))) but the presentation sounds very good, clearly understandable for a non native english speaking person like me.
Thank you for sharing that with US.
