Abstract

Time is a funny thing. You can spend it, save it, waste it and kill it,
but you can't change it and there is never any more or less of it.
Everyone knows what it is and uses it every day but no one can seem to
define it.

In this talk I will provide a brief introduction to time, timekeeping,
and the uses of time information, especially in scientific and technical
areas.

The NYC*BUG August 6th meeting features OpenBSD developer Brian Callahan
leading a workshop on porting applications to OpenBSD.  This is a great
chance to begin contributing to a great software project that has
brought us OpenSSH, pf, and has taken the first real and significant
action to slash and burn the SSL mess with LibreSSL.

How can you get involved?  Start with reading through the OpenBSD
Porter's Handbook (www.openbsd.org/faq/ports/index.html) and the Port
Testing Guide (http://www.openbsd.org/faq/ports/testing.html).
