December Meeting: 2014-12-11

It has been a little busy lately and I’ve been away for the past two meeting periods. I’m planning on being at the December meeting at our normal time.

Topics:

  • FreeBSD 10.1 is out. Anyone tried it yet?
  • If anyone noticed, BSDCan will be in June in 2015
  • New model RaspberryPi units have come out, the A+ is quite inexpensive and has a lot of GPIO pins (no network though, unless you want to use a USB network adapter)
  • iX Systems (FreeNAS, PC-BSD) was at LISA’14, as well as the FreeBSD foundation.

September Meeting: 2014-09-11

No meeting this month.

As we discussed last meeting, we are going to see about doing something technical at a different venue. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a chance to get the alternative location booked, so no meeting this month.

August Meeting: 2014-08-14

Thursday is the second Thursday of the month, so that means it is monthly meeting night.

It has been a quiet summer, so not much to talk about so far.

Topics:

  • Upcoming installfest at Jack Purcell Center
  • Group future activities, maybe a venue change?

 

Watch this website…

While it may not be all that exciting, we are planning a BSD installfest sometime in the next month at the Jack Purcell Center. Should be an interesting evening, so watch for further details. I’ve been told it will be a Monday night.

Bring hardware to test, your favorite BSD version, something new or just come out to see what it is all about.

July Meeting: 2014-07-10

No meeting this month.

I’m unavailable and the attendance has been down during the summer, so rather than have one person show up, no meeting.
