SynergyFS,
by Keun Soo Yim from Samsung @ Ottawa Linux Symposium

Ok, that was a flop :
- We get it - solid state drive (SSD) are faster, have a smaller energy footprint than hard disk drive (HDD). With a general engineering background most of the group knew already that there is no moving part… No need to show us a 10 minutes video of windows vista booting, of people sitting in a plane, of trying to break a laptop… This time would have been better spent giving out actual technical detail about the file-system.

- Question: “Can we see what SynergyFS look like, how it fare in benchmark”, answer: “not without signing NDA”.
- Question: “Is the source available for SynergyFS”, answer: “no, GPL really is a bad idea for a business, you could distribute our code afterward”.

… yeah, well… that was a waste of my time.
