My first trip to Japan ever was connected with speaking at the AsiaBSDcon conference on March 15-16 at the Tokyo University of Science. I have met many fellow developers, including Matt Ahrens from the Illumos project who was my co-speaker at EuroBSDcon 2013 in Malta last year. This time I had a completely new topic, my talk had the title “Deploying FreeBSD systems with Foreman and mfsBSD”. My special thanks go to Hiroki Sato and George Neville-Neil who have organized this successful conference.

Foreman is an interesting tool designed to perform configuration and lifecycle management of physical and virtual servers. I have been submitting to the Foreman project for several months now and have met many of the Foreman developers including the founder – Ohad Levy at FOSDEM 2014 in Brussels, Belgium and the following configuration management event cfgmgmtcamp.eu in Gent, Belgium this February.
