Sorry for the late notice. Evan, who was schedule to talk about libqcap this month, has just called me telling me that he is down with a stomach flu and will be unable to give his talk on Thursday. I've had Dan Langille in the queue to give a talk on FreeBSD. Fortunately he's an expert on the topic and didn't need much preparation to take over this Thursday. He will cover introduction, installing, configuration, upgrading, adding applications. The talk will be FreeBSD specific but hopefully some of it will be applicable to all the BSDs. Dan Langille has been using FreeBSD since 1998, is active in the FreeBSD community and runs BSDCan, the foremost BSD conference in the world, held right here in Ottawa. You will also know him as the MC of OCLUG general meetings. Those that have registered for the libqcap talk will have seats reserved for them for Dan's talk this week. There are bout 10 seats left for newcomers. Anyway, we will hopefully have a healthy Evan present his libqcap talk next month. See below for further details... and see you on Thursday. -Bart On 10/13/06, Bart Trojanowski <bart-oclug [ at ] jukie [ dot ] net> wrote: >Topic: FreeBSD >Date: Thursday, October 26th, 2006 >Time: 6:30pm to 8:30pm (Come a bit early for drinks and snacks) >Cost: Free (Donations to OCLUG appreciated) >Location: ExitCertified, 85 Albert St., Suite 1200, Ottawa. >Map: http://tinyurl.com/cd6l > >WHAT IS IT? >~~~~~~~~~~~ >This is one of a series of Linux/Open-Source Technology Seminars to be >presented by the Ottawa Canada Linux Users Group (OCLUG) and >ExitCertified.
