Bay Area Linux User Group (BALUG) meeting TOMORROW Tuesday 6:30 P.M. 2012-11-20
Please RSVP if you're planning to come (see further below).
For our 2012-11-20 BALUG meeting, we theoretically have a speaker/presentation lined up for this meeting, but I've not received "final" details or recent confirmation. Regardless, that doesn't prevent us from having interesting and exciting meetings. Sometimes we also manage to secure/confirm a speaker too late for us to announce or fully publicize the speaker (that's happened at least twice in the past nine or so years). Got questions, answers, and/or opinions? We typically have some expert(s) and/or relative expert(s) present to cover LINUX and related topic areas. Want to hear some interesting discussions on LINUX and other topics? Show up at the meeting, and feel free to bring an agenda if you wish. Want to help ensure BALUG has speakers/presentations lined up for future meetings? Help refer speakers to us and/or volunteer to be one of the speaker coordinators. Good food, good people, and interesting conversations to be had.
So, if you'd like to join us please RSVP to:
rsvp@balug.org
**Why RSVP??**
Well, don't worry we won't turn you away, but the RSVPs really help BALUG and the Four Seas Restaurant plan the meal and meeting, and with sufficient attendance, they also help ensure that we'll be able to eat upstairs in the private banquet room.

Bay Area Linux User Group (BALUG) meeting TOMORROW Tuesday 6:30 P.M. 2012-11-20 Devin Teske on FreeBSD [updated]
Please RSVP if you're planning to come (see further below).
For our 2012-11-20 BALUG meeting, we are pleased to present: Devin Teske, FreeBSD[1] "src" developer - join us for an informal FreeBSD Q&A session, which may include demonstration(s).
Devin Teske is a FreeBSD "src" developer (opposed to "doc", "ports", etc. the "src" folk maintain the base operating system including the boot loader, kernel, and all base user land).
What does he do for the FreeBSD project?
o Maintains the boot loader menu o Maintain sysinstall, bsdinstall, bsdconfig, sysrc, and the install/configuration aspects in general
What does he use FreeBSD for? At his work, they use FreeBSD as the platform for a leading check processing system. Customers across the United States have used FreeBSD since 1995 to process paper payments in the United States. As early as 2008, our customers had a new choice of running our software on top of RedHat Enterprise Linux instead of FreeBSD. In the last year of 2011, Linux helped process $50 BILLION in payments for 2011, but FreeBSD in the same year processed $1.7 TRILLION in payments. FreeBSD is still a very large part of the U.S. economy in this way.
So, if you'd like to join us please RSVP to:
