[announce] Wednesday June 7 NYC*BUG & NYPHPCon Discount

[Announcements only list for NYCBUG (announcements are not cross-posted to other lists).]

Open Meeting

Suspenders Bar
6:30 PM to 8:00 PM
111 Broadway & Thames
directions are here

Once again, we are looking to alternate our technical presentation
meetings with more open forum that we hope can reflect the vitality of
our `talk` list.

This time, we have some speakers who will be giving short, ten minute
presentations:

Ray Lai, who just returned from the OpenBSD Hackathon, will be providing
a summary of the event, including giving some insight into the code that
was created at this annual happening.

Brad Schonhorst will `pass-the-hat` and let everyone know about the
current BSD Certification User Group Competition for raising funds. A
good number of NYCBUG members are active with the BSD Cerification
process, and we are looking forward to a strong, community-based
certification that could add to the popularity of the BSDs.

Mikel King, who recently added much needed juice into Daemon News-land,
will speak about how we can make DN and BSDNews the CNN of the BSDs, and
what you can do to help.

Plus, we`ll begin a discussion on NYCBSDCon, which this year`s will
happen the second weekend in October. We are looking to have active
involvement from people in NYCBUG and beyond.
