Instead, we are organizing a holiday party with New York PHP and a number of other user groups in New York. I want to encourage everyone to register ASAP. We have a good base of sponsors, and over 140 people registered, but the sooner we get the bulk of NYC*BUG members signed up the better. We will have to have a cut-off point some time. . .And only those who have registered will be contacted as to the event location in the weeks before. Also, I have emailed a number of people offlist about sponsoring opportunities. I want to encourage all with the influence at their firms to consider sponsoring the event. We are looking to make this holiday party annual, and without doubt sponsoring costs will increase for first-timers each year. I don't have the full list of current sponsors, but among them are O'Reilly and Associates, CMP Publishing, Pilosoft, Penguin Netwerx and BSD Mall/Daemon News. Again, the url to register or to get more information about sponsoring is at: http://nyphp.org/nytchp.php Feel free to contact me or Hans (hans at nyphp dot com) offlist for any additional questions. g From announce-nycbug at lists.nycbug.org Thu Nov 18 18:19:30 2004 From: announce-nycbug at lists.nycbug.org (announce-nycbug at lists.nycbug.org) Date: Thu, 18 Nov 2004 18:19:30 -0500 Subject: [Announce-nycbug] Fwd: next@nyphp: IMPORTANT; New RSVP Policy for Meeting, "AMP on AMD64" Message-ID: <4C6AB2CD-39B8-11D9-9E7B-000D9328615E@sddi.net> Important information for those who attend New York PHP meetings >> !!Please note!! >> >> There is a new RSVP policy in place at IBM buildings that all user >> groups must conform to.

As a primer for the presentation, New York PHP is working with AMD to understand the best methods for deploying AMP on this exciting new hardware platform. 32bit is so very last decade, and thanks to NYPHP's Michael DeWitt and representatives from AMD, we've been testing AMP Technology on a complimentary dual AMD64 server.

Part of NYPHP's soon to be announced AMPeers project, he'll be publishing detailed articles and sharing his experiences on how to deploy on this next generation platform. Don't be left behind; learn how you can shatter 32bit limitations and be prepared for the next generation of hardware. Enjoy turkey in two days, but save room beforehand for AMD & AMP.
