SemiBUG: informal meetup tomorrow

SemiBUG’s normal meeting place is not available this month, so there’s an informal get-together at Leo’s next door, like last month. It’s happening tonight at 7 PM.

In Other BSDs for 2019/02/02

Inadvertent theme: release news.

Our Software Dependency Problem. Hard thinking about something many, many people don’t think hard enough about. This talks about software, but it’s directly analogous to ports/dports/pkgsrc. I’m leading with this even though it’s not directly about BSD, cause it affects anyone using a packaging system.
I mentioned it before, but FOSDEM 2019, happening right now in Brussels, has a BSD Devroom with a lot of things happening in it; you could spend your entire Saturday in there.
And something that has me quite excited: The Pinebook Pro, among other hardware announcements for FOSDEM. BSD is being mentioned right there as something to install on it, rather than as an aftermarket hack like with Chromebooks – heartwarming, I tell you. (via)
Unix flowers. Look for birthtoken while you are at it. (via)
FreeNAS has Plugins? A casual look at it seems to push some features into pfSense territory.
Next NYC*BUG: 2/6.
OPNsense 19.1-RC1 released. Wait, 19.1 is out.

SEMIBUG meeting tonight

The normal meeting space isn’t available this month or next, so tonight’s meeting is an informal get-together at 7 PM at Leo’s Coney Island. I assume if you are near, you know Leo’s. Go if that’s you.

NYCBUG: OpenBSD with Brian Callahan

NYCBUG’s January meeting kicks off the new year, with an OpenBSD presentation by Brian Callahan on January 2nd. That’s this Wednesday, right after New Year’s Day. ~~At the time I’m writing this, I don’t have the meeting agenda, but don’t let that stop you from attending, if you are near.~~ Update: Brian told me directly what he is presenting.
