NYC*BUG Meetings and Events

Once again, we are looking to alternate our technical presentation meetings with a more open format that we hope can reflect the vitality of our `talk` list. This time, we have some speakers who will be giving short, ten minute presentations: Ray Lai, who just returned from the OpenBSD Hackathon, will be providing a summary of the event, including giving some insight into the code that was created at this annual happening. Brad Schonhorst will `pass-the-hat` and let everyone know about the current BSD Certification User Group Competition for raising funds. A good number of NYCBUG members are active with the BSD Cerification process, and we are looking forward to a strong, community-based certification that could add to the popularity of the BSDs. Mikel King, who recently added much needed juice into Daemon News-land, will speak about how we can make DN and BSDNews the CNN of the BSDs, and what you can do to help. Plus, we`ll begin a discussion on NYCBSDCon, which this year`s will happen the second weekend in October. We are looking to have active involvement from people in NYCBUG and beyond.
