Bay Area FreeBSD Users Group
-- BAFUG --
The Bay Area FreeBSD Users Group (BAFUG) will be holding it's monthly
meeting on Thursday, January 14th. This months meeting will be held at The
Silicon Reef in the Mission district of San Francisco. The meeting will
start at 7:30 pm.
Agenda:
==> Josef Grosch will give a talk the use of Perl, Mysql, and DBD &
DBI perl modules to create the FreeBSD counter page and
registration system. This technique has many uses in web site
creation such as user registrations, shopping carts, etc. This will
definitely be an "under the hood" talk.
==> Jordan K. Hubbard will be giving a "State of the Union" talk. This
talk will most likely include a discussion of the release of 3.0,
the move to ELF, the start of the 3.X branch, and the possible
inclusion of IPv6 into 3.1.
==> Nicole Harrington and Josef Grosch will talk about their plans for
the upcoming Install-A-Thon to be held on January 23rd at the
Robert Austin Computer show at the Oakland Convention Center. This
Install-A-Thon will be held jointly with BALUG (Bay Area Linux
Users Group) and CABAL (Consortium of All Bay Area Linux). We will
also be holding our traditional Install-A-Thon at the Cow Place in
Daly City. The date for this show is January 30th. See
http://www.bafug.org/Install.html
for more details including directions on how to get to the Cow
Palace.
==> bafug.org is off and running! Thanks to Jan Koum and Nicole
Harrington. The FreeBSD Retail page and Counter page have been
moved to this site. Suggestions are welcome.
==> Donations of hardware are needed to build BAFUG a test machine
for use at the Install-a-thons.
==> Pizza and Soda will be ordered and the hat will be passed `round.
==> Of course, we will have the usually kvetchen about sundry topics
