# 会议报告：SCaLE20X

一个月前，我有机会前往加州帕萨迪纳，与开源社区的成员一起参加 SCaLE20X。这是我第二次参加 SCaLE，也是我第一次参加在原帕萨迪纳场地举办的 SCaLE。大会第一天，我协助 Roller Angel 主持了一整天的 FreeBSD 工作坊。当天的目标是帮助参会者在虚拟机或云主机上安装 FreeBSD、安装并运行桌面环境、搭建基础 Jail、创建本地 Ports 仓库等等。工作坊大体上没出岔子，不过我们碰上了一个小麻烦：Vultr（我们使用的云服务商）无法处理信用卡支付，让我们手忙脚乱地替这部分参会者另寻服务商。参与人数很多，工作坊的学员从 FreeBSD 新手到想把 FreeBSD 装到新机器上的资深用户都有。如果你想抽时间过一遍这次工作坊，Roller Angel 已经把它作为文本文件发到网上，可以在这里找到。

我还参观了 SCaLE 的展览大厅，并在大部分活动时间里在 FreeBSD 展位值守。和开源社区成员聊天，始终是这类活动里我最喜欢的部分，我们带了大量 FreeBSD 周边小礼品在现场发放。我最近一直在整理一份详尽的 FreeBSD 大事记，所以对许多从类 Unix 操作系统诞生起就投身其中的参会者格外感兴趣。在展位上有一段难忘的对话：一位 FreeBSD 用户告诉我们，他小时候曾把父母的电脑拆开，装上了 FreeBSD。父母看到电脑那副样子，开机时又被那个不熟悉的“daemon”问候，吓得把他禁足，禁止他用 FreeBSD。幸运的是，他至今仍在用 FreeBSD（不过我没问他父母现在怎么想）。

我相信 SCaLE 又一次成功地推动了更多人来使用 FreeBSD、为 FreeBSD 做贡献。工作坊始终是亮点，每年参会人数都在增长。我期待 SCaLE21X，希望能见到更多 FreeBSD 社区的朋友！

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://freebsd-journal-cn.bsdcn.org/20230304-qian-ru-shi/conference-report.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
