On March 14, 2008, we had our first-ever DTrace (un)conference, dtrace.conf(08). Just as DTrace allows for unparalleled observability up and down the software stack, dtrace.conf drew technologists from across the DTrace world, from those working at the lowest levels of operating system kernels, to those at the highest levels of the application stack. Thank you to those attended (links to blog entries about the conference are below), and here's looking forward to dtrace.conf(09)!
