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.
