We on Team DTrace have realized that with so much going on in the world of DTrace — ports to new systems, providers for new languages and development of new DTrace-based tools — the time is long overdue for a DTrace summit of sorts. So I’m very pleased to announce our first-ever DTrace (un)conference: dtrace.conf(08), to be held in San Francisco on March 14, 2008. One of the most gratifying aspects of DTrace is its community: because DTrace operates both across abstraction boundaries and to great depth, it naturally attracts technologists who do the same — systems generalists who couple an ability to think abstractly about the system with a thirst for the concrete data necessary to better understand it. So if nothing else, dtrace.conf should provide for thought-provoking and wide-ranging conversation!
The conference wiki has more details; hope to see you at dtrace.conf in San Francisco in March!

I hope conference presentations will be published (for those interested in DTrace but unable to attend).
Do you have any plans to hold similar events in Europe? I am based in the UK and have work commitments that prevent me coming to the San Francisco event in March 2008.
It would be nice to think that Team DTrace could make it to Europe (possibly the UK?)
There are no plans per se, but I think that a Europe-based (and in particular, UK-based) dtrace.conf — a dtrace.conf.uk if you will — is likely at some point in the indefinite future…
