NYCBSDCon 2008 Call For Presentations Continuing on the success of 2005 and 2006, New York City BSD Conference (NYCBSDCon) is the main technical conference on the US East Coast for the BSD community to get together to share and gain knowledge, to network with like-minded people, and to have fun. This event is organized by members of the New York City *BSD Users Group (NYC*BUG). The NYCBSDCon program committee is accepting submissions for imaginative, embryonic and energizing presentations surrounding the BSD operating systems. We are looking to attract a wide range of speakers and attendees; therefore, topics of interest range from the esoteric to development to practical, everyday sysadmin life. Of course, original topics are preferred in most cases. Each talk is expected to be 45-50 minutes, including a few minutes for questions and answers if the speaker wishes - potentially recorded. Presenters will have audio/visual and network connectivity. Abstracts for presentations are due July 15, 2008. Authors of accepted submissions should be able to provide the full presentation for publication on NYCBSDCon sponsored mediums. Further instructions will follow notification of acceptance. Submissions accompanied by a non-disclosure agreement or a product advertisement will be rejected. Abstract submissions should be emailed to cfp at nycbsdcon dot org in text, ps or pdf format. Conference Location: Columbia University, New York, NY Conference Dates: October 11-12, 2008 Important Milestones: Mar 01 CFP Released Jul 15 CFP Deadliner Aug 01 Notification of Accepted and Rejected Presentations Do not let travel and accommodation concerns get in the way of your submissions; we may have some opportunities to subsidize speakers, but it is too early to guarantee anything at this point.

Currently, I'm getting "back into the pool" with FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE in VMware Fusion on my MacBook Pro, and it seems like there have been a lot of improvements to the OS and infrastructure behind it. Do you think that it could work well in an environment where it would be serving large audio/video files? (Would you want SAS drives in the server?) Anyway... glad to be back! :) From owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Mar 6 02:01:00 2008 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-chat@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 10BDF1065674 for ; Thu, 6 Mar 2008 02:01:00 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from skeptikos@gmail.com) Received: from gv-out-0910.google.com (gv-out-0910.google.com [216.239.58.186]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 97EC88FC20 for ; Thu, 6 Mar 2008 02:00:59 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from skeptikos@gmail.com) Received: by gv-out-0910.google.com with SMTP id n40so2000135gve.39 for ; Wed, 05 Mar 2008 18:00:48 -0800 (PST) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=domainkey-signature:received:received:date:from:to:subject:message-id:in-reply-to:references:x-mailer:mime-version:content-type:content-transfer-encoding; bh=gFpTElIv33BB2a47pvvPPLuOOAroysxfAyC6r1q+FU0=; b=aVNcH6IQKe6X73LL9Z19TOdSrSVqOwwrNsgL08tpLcXcUNROBwbsFxUb9bPLYydODlRRvi/bX9LnB4ehxp/C59Jbty/EUTVmP+BzTKmAI68YlvewC9pcsv4uD49a5YeFKUunH/wz7AJ07tVG7WOkNFmxiJ2/iGBe4d8OSgzH32o= DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=nofws; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=date:from:to:subject:message-id:in-reply-to:references:x-mailer:mime-version:content-type:content-transfer-encoding; b=RWiSTZp6nXvtCjCbVld0inPREbcCAjbRfiEVEGO6CJ6lcqd6HyvcgjzzHowHszGE/Q0bNrjFrKmVkPx+FNuP0egjcg2ZqAyZuM/Vroy9ohuSglbcLbmX6KAmNqZFPB3zmCIGdQko3wB5g9Fv3Tlvg4Gvez6bGA6P1c7OivSY7Ug= Received: by 10.114.149.2 with SMTP id w2mr2228368wad.29.1204767330023; Wed, 05 Mar 2008 17:35:30 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost ( [72.200.80.161]) by mx.google.com with ESMTPS id j7sm550543wah.23.2008.03.05.17.35.29 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=OTHER); Wed, 05 Mar 2008 17:35:29 -0800 (PST) Date: Wed, 5 Mar 2008 18:37:27 -0700 From: christopher To: freebsd-chat@freebsd.org Message-Id: <20080305183727.49ee7465.skeptikos@gmail.com> In-Reply-To: References: X-Mailer: Sylpheed 2.4.7 (GTK+ 2.12.1; i386-portbld-freebsd7.0) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: Re: Returning to the FreeBSD community ...

Unfortunately, I can't offer much advice in the way of audio/video servers. I did recently upgrade to 7.0 and after some initial pains, I have to say, that I think I have it all in order now. 5.4 was good to me for a long time -- christopher
