[Semibug] June meeting minutes

[Josh Grosse]

No, not really.  I didn't take notes, and my memory is faulty.
I'm sure that attendees will correct any egregious errors or
omissions.

It was a small group that met on Tuesday evening at Altair Engineering.
The meeting began informally.  Our chairman graciously answered 
questions
about BSDCan 2016, which had concluded last week.  He shared his 
insights
into some of the more interesting technical, social, and cultural 
activities
which took place at the conference.

We learned about the very unique, and quite rare, Canadian edition of 
ZFS
Mastery, one of which was donated to the annual charity auction.  I 
understand
that this year's auction resulted in more than $4500 collected, with the
largest single donation arising from the Henning Brauer Fashion Show.

We also did a deep technical dive into one small aspect of PAM, 
presented
by our Chair at the conference.  It was far too technical for me, 
because I
don't have any PAM experience, and I am still very fuzzy on how the 
system
administrator is to integrate her knife-wielding, scuttling crab into 
her
authentication and authorization infrastructure successfully without 
losing
several of her favorite fingers.

Our post-meeting soiree was held conveniently at Leo's, next door. The
main topic of discussion during this event was, "Restaurants We Have 
Known
and Loved."  Key deliverables:

* Eating anywhere in Italy is simultaneously wonderful and 
mass-enhancing.
   Our experiences there have all been similar.   Our Chair recommended 
we
   consider John Pinette's experience, available here:

* We learned that there is a gaping hole in Grosse Point Woods, by the 
corners
   of Lochmoor and Mack.  Apparently, that is the place where a famous 
Pancake
   House may have once stood, but as our Chair lives nearby the site, he 
stated
   his opinion that the restaurant is not there.  This is to ensure he 
can
   maintain self-control and willpower.

* The best BBQ in the area is Union Woodshop in Clarkston.  Bad Brads
   has some unique offerings, such as Pig Candy, which make it worthwhile 
to
   visit also.

* Our Chair would prefer we would just stop talking about food, 
especially
   when he is trying to maintain self-control and willpower.  Enough is 
enough.

Thank you.  I can report that the education obtained at this month's 
meeting was
both interesting and motivational.  My son and I dined at the Union 
Woodshop
last night.
