This site is not dead yet. COVID-19 has kept things quiet and I don’t expect that there will be any meetings soon, but it would be possible to have a virtual meetup if people are interested.

I’m sure we are all tired of video conferencing, but that is the only medium right now. We do have a mailing list, so if we get some activity about it, we should consider having a virtual meetup just to say hello to various people who have dropped off the radar since we last met.

It has been very quiet on here for the past year and a half, but the site is still live. I recently repatriated it to Canada from a hosting service in the U.S. as I am no longer providing hosting services for clients of my consulting company. That probably will not last much longer either, as I have discovered that since I have converted to a employee from doing contract work, I am no longer willing to give up evenings and weekends any more to take care of client issues.

We received a solicitation via the mailing list to have a meeting this month, so have a meeting we shall. The traditional venue and time – 2018-10-11 at Colonnade Pizza on Metcalfe @ 18:00 until people leave (or it closes).

Discussion:

• BSD on the Raspberry Pi 3
• Becoming a technical group again
• Project ideas from the floor

and our thoughts turn to maybe we should have a meeting.

I was talking to Diane at the conference and perhaps we should make this a more technical event rather than social. I’m not sure where we should start, but the fine people at the BSD Foundation passed me an InstallFest kit, so the first meeting of the soon to be revised and resurrected group woould be to install FreeBSD on either an appropriate device or at least a VM running on your laptop.

As was sent to the mailing list, we should have a meeting this month as it is BSDCan time. 

This meeting will be at The Red Lion, not at Café Colonnade.
