From announce at lists.nycbug.org Mon Mar 4 21:47:01 2013 From: announce at lists.nycbug.org (NYC*BUG Announcements) Date: Mon, 04 Mar 2013 21:47:01 -0500 Subject: [announce] NYC*BUG: This Week Message-ID: The next two meetings focus on architectures beyond the regular i386/amd64 world. This month's meeting is about FreeBSD porting to the Beagle Bone running on ARM, and April's meeting will feature a talk on porting OpenBSD to MIPS. Note that BSDCan (.org) is coming up in May. A number of people from NYC*BUG will be there, and we strongly encourage you to attend. Yes, we're still cross-posting to talk@, but get on announce at for these announces in the future. Note that we launched a Tor-BSD list recently. For anyone developing or using Tor on a BSD, join up and let's get the discussion moving. * * * March 6 @ 18:45 - Location: Suspenders BeagleBone with FreeBSD, Brett Wynkoop About the speaker: Brett Wynkoop fell in love with computers while a freshman at the United States Merchant Marine Academy, where he almost flunked out his first term by spending too much time playing with Dartmouth Time Sharing on a model 33 teletype at 110 baud, instead of studying marine engineering and navigation. His first Unix job was administering an AT&T Dimension PBX which used tape for random access....ls took a long time! His first BSD experience was on a PDP 11/70 and he has been a BSD lover ever since. His once wrote a web server in /bin/sh, just because he could http://prd4.wynn.com:8080/. He was a member of the technical staff at BSDI and is currently a systems engineer with the Internet Systems Consortium and is working on the BIND 10 project.

What you may not know is that you can expect an equally excellent experience on the lesser-known CPUs. This talk will provide an in-depth look at the Loongson CPU, a mips64el CPU, on OpenBSD. We'll explore its history on OpenBSD and its support for third-party software through OpenBSD's excellent ports system. We'll examine the unique challenges that come with ports and packages on lesser-used CPUs. Finally, we'll discuss the future of MIPS support, including embedded MIPS. About the speaker: Brian is a graduate student at Monmouth University studying Anthropology. He is an OpenBSD developer, working primarily on mips64el (Loongson) ports. **** The May 1 meeting will feature Brian Coca on Anisble. Have a meeting idea to discuss? Ping us at admin@ to open the discussion. **** Did you go to AsiaBSDCon (http://2013.asiabsdcon.org/) in March? If so, be prepared to give the next meeting a quick summary. **** BSDCan (www.bsdcan.org/2013/) is May 17-18 in Ottawa, Canada. If you're going, feel free to use talk@ to coordinate travel or face-to-face meetings. There's always a good number of NYC*BUG attendees, and we strongly encourage you to attend this annual conference. And it's a great opportunity to take the BSD Certification exam.
