About

Who are we?

Belgian BSD Devils is an informal user group for anyone interested in the BSDs: OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, DragonFly and everything that comes with it.

What do we do?

We organise meetups, online sessions and informal gatherings. Presentations, workshops, hackathons — all focused on the BSD ecosystem.

Who is it for?

Everyone is welcome: from newcomers to seasoned sysadmins. Whether you tinker at home with a Raspberry Pi or manage large production systems on OpenBSD.

Why BSD?

Stable. Secure. Well-thought-out. The BSDs have a rich history of carefully engineered software — from the TCP/IP stack to OpenSSH and LibreSSL.
