MetaBUG

This meeting marks CapBUG’s 1 year anniversary. For this meeting, we’ll gather at my office in Columbia, MD again. To celebrate occasion, Patrick Thomasson will be bringing a special cake.

I will give a mini-talk about how I use GNU/screen, how I have it set up and how I use mutt and irssi. Following my talk, Johan Huldtgren will give a mini-talk about setting up a samba PDC/ file / print server.

The meeting audio will be broadcast (Slides will be linked here and URL for audio will be active during the talk). This should work fine for x11/vlc users (or systems with QuickTime support). A CapBUG representative will be available in #metabug on Freenode to field questions.

Slides:

• Mike’s slides
• Johan’s slides

Note: the meeting starts at 22:30 UTC.

We will hold our Nov/Dec combo meeting on Tuesday, December 18 at 6:30 at the Raba Office in Columbia, Maryland (the usual place). We’ll hit either The Green Turtle or Nottingham’s afterwards.

I will be giving a talk “Intro to Porting” mostly inspired by bernd@’s talk at OpenCON.

We are uncertain at this time whether this meeting will be broadcast or not.

The meeting audio will be broadcast at rtsp://live.metabug.org:8000/metabug.sdp. This should work fine for x11/vlc users (or systems with QuickTime support). A CapBUG representative should be available in #metabug to field questions.

Update: The slides are available online here: Part 1, Part 2.

Note: the meeting starts at 22:30 UTC.

Update: Video of the presentation (slides synchronized with audio) is available here.

This month we will have a BSD InstallFest, open to all comers. Now is the time to get BSD installed and up to speed! Bring in your laptop or desktop box and let’s get it going. We can use any and all people skilled in the various BSDs to help out. Even if you do not bring a computer to install, you are welcome to come and see how it all works.

Anyone bringing computers, please be punctual so that we have enough time to get everything installed and configured. (IOW, come late and you’ll leave using only mail, vi, and lynx).

Note: the meeting starts at 2:00 GMT

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will not have a regular meeting this month and will just meet at Nottingham’s for “Beer & BSD”. We’ll eat food, drink beer, maybe play pool and talk about BSD, if it comes up.

See you there at 6:30 PM EDT (22:30 UTC).

This month, we’ll meet at the PROTEUS headquarters in Annapolis Junction (near Columbia, MD) [map] at 6:30 PM ET.

Jason Dixon will give his entertaining, popular “BSD is Dying” talk. Then, we’ll break out our laptops and set up some ipsec tunnels with OpenBSD.

After the meeting, we’ll head over to the Courtyard Cafe at the Couryard Marriott for beers.

Note: The meeting will be streamed at live.metabug.org. Join us on #metabug at irc.freenode.net.

Note: the meeting starts at 22:30 UTC.

Sam Lawrance reminds us:

The next BUGS meeting will be held at at Edwin Groothuis’ place at Caringbah. The agenda is company, lunch (provided), and if enough people feel like it we might order in dinner. Wired internet will be available.

As usual all the details are on the BUGS site.

Editor’s Note: Not to be confused with all BUGS in existence, this BUG is located in Sydney, Australia.

Hiya campers, its september which means its time for our annual
september meeting. all the burners are back from burning man, the
bridge is open again, and all the school kids are back in town. so
lets go to the metreon and talk about none of those things, but instead
focus on OpenBSD.

Tuesday the 4th, 7pm, food court of the Metreon. details and maps at

Meeting time is 02:00 UTC

This month, we’ll meet at the Raba office in Columbia again at 6:30 PM ET. We are considering moving the meetings to PROTEUS in the future, but this month the meeting is at “the usual place”.

Johan will give a short talk on FreeBSD’s GEOM. Bret will stop being a straphanger and give a short talk about contributing code/diffs to OpenBSD. After the talks, if we have time and interest, I can possibly do a demo on starting a port.

After the talks, we’ll then head over to Nottingham’s or The Green Turtle for a couple beers.

Note: the meeting starts at 02:00 UTC.

This month we will cool off with some brewski and chat.

For any FreeBSD people with a nostalgic side I have a bunch of FreeBSD CDs to give away ranging from 2.x to 6. This isn’t a complete set, but very close! These should go to a loving home, not just the mildly curious.

Note: the meeting starts at 01:30 UTC.

This month, we’ll meet at the Raba office in Columbia again at 6:30 PM ET (22:30 UTC). I will give a short talk on Yaifo. Barring anyone else having a topic to discuss, we’ll then head over to Nottingham’s for a couple beers.

Update: Prior to or following my Yaifo talk, Patrick will give a talk on OpenVPN.
