This month we’ll be meeting on Tuesday, April 29, 6:30pm EST at Raba in Columbia, MD. Directions

Theo Schlossnagle, CEO of OmniTI Computer Consulting, will give a talk on ZFS and Dtrace. Both of these are available in FreeBSD, although many of the useful features are not integrated yet. Theo will introduce both technologies and give practical examples (on OpenSolaris) for using them in engineering environments.

Todd Carson will also give a brief talk on how his diff became OpenBSD 4.2 Errata entry 008.

Afterwards, we’ll congregate at a nearby water hole for food and drinks, and to celebrate the release of OpenBSD 4.3!

Note: The meeting begins at 22:30 UTC.

This month, we’ll be meeting on Tuesday, March 25 at Raba in Columbia, MD.

Todd Carson will give a brief talk on how his diff became OpenBSD 4.2 Errata entry 008. Todd will talk about his errata entry next month. I will talk about using CVS to store your configuration files.

As usual, we’ll grab a beer and food after the meeting at either Green Turtle, Nottingham’s or the Dog Pub.

At this time, we’re unsure if we’ll be broadcasting the talks.

Note: The meeting begins at 22:30 UTC.

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).
