unHoliday Meeting: Be a Grinch about Your Tech Gripe, Various

For the past several years, our holiday party has been filled with the 
notion of giving back to the community: your tips, your hacks, your 
thoughts.

So many people have proved selfless and assisted others that we feel 
it's time for a change. Let's be honest, we need a time to vent, and 
there's no reason the holiday season should be immune.

What are your gripes in technology? What do you hate dealing with at 
your job? Is it some high- (or low-) level scripting language? Some 
clunky and un-Unix-like application? Dealing with an under-documented 
and buggy non-BSD operating system?

Well, here's your chance to let others know how you feel. Prepare a ten 
minute or so presentation, with maybe a slide or two, and make your 
case. Be coherent and to-the-point, and maybe others will jump aboard 
with your argument.

Ping admin@ with your idea, and we look forward to having a meeting 
which let's us vent out very unholiday season gripes.

Another Holiday Party,

NYC*BUG has joined with LispNYC, NY Haskell, the New York Linux User
Group (NYLUG), PuppetNYC and LOPSA-NY, plus a number of other groups, to 
hold a holiday party on Tuesday, December 11, 2012 from 7:00 PM until 
it's over.

It will be at the House of Brews (http://www.houseofbrewsny.com/) at 302
W 51st street in the upstairs room.

*NOTE* Our unHoliday Meeting is still taking place on December 5th.
This is an additional event with the wider technical community in NYC.

Some beer and hors d'oeuvres will be provided, as a number of firms have 
stepped up to sponsor the event.
