Hi there, And welcome to the first post for the "bsd-drivers" mailing-list! The "BSD driver harmony" project is about maintaining a communications channel between BSD-based Operating Systems - therefore at least FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD - with the goal to identify ways to improve hardware support for all of us together. I have brought this up to the NetBSD project, first directly to the NetBSD Foundation's Board (where I have a mandate) when I introduced the idea, and then during NetBSD's DevSummit during EuroBSDcon 2022. I have also talked about it to a few FreeBSD and OpenBSD developers during this event. I have chosen to create this list on relatively neutral ground, for a number of reasons: * First, I do not want to promote (even subconsciously) that any BSD system has more importance or precedence when working on this initiative; * Then, NetBSD (where I personally "come from") is often considered to be "providing too many mailing-lists" already; * Finally, existing mailing-lists for NetBSD (e.g., tech-pkg@) logically focus on NetBSD, and may be regularly off-topic for contributors to other BSD systems, even when interested in harmonisation efforts. Anyway, I have published my slides for the discussion during NetBSD's DevSummit (titled "BSD Driver Harmony") with a short explanation and first few very basic ideas on NetBSD's website, at: https://www.netbsd.org/gallery/presentations/khorben/devsummit2022-09/BSD%20Drivers.pdf I am scheduled for a talk at FOSDEM this year, with the objective to spread the message and call for volunteers from every BSD-based Operating System to be joining this initiative. The talk will take place on February 4th (Saturday), at 10:40, in the BSD devroom in building AW, room AW1.125 during FOSDEM 2023 in Brussels. The full schedule for the devroom can be found at: https://fosdem.org/2023/schedule/track/bsd/ Finally, instructions to manage subscriptions to this list can be found at https://lists.edgebsd.org/#bsd-drivers. The list is also meant to be archived publicly, which should be available online at https://lists.edgebsd.org/bsd-drivers if everything goes fine. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you are experiencing any trouble with the list. Cheers! -- khorben
