For those who haven’t heard me talking about it, we are having an
“unconference” at Shopify’s headquarters on February 9th. It is an open event
any anybody is welcome to come out and see what user groups we have in the
region. You can visit the site at
ugconnect.ca
UGC 2013:
- Drop in to our free relaxed one day unconference.
- Meet some of the many technical User Groups in Ottawa.
- Chat with fellow high tech workers, and students.
- Meet with some of the most tech-friendly local companies.
Why would we do this?
Not everyone knows about all the user groups - the user groups are doing very
interesting stuff and sometimes complementary things that would benefit from
knowledge of the topics in other user groups. We want to get these doers in the
same room together where they can collaborate with and learn from each other.
Just a reminder that Thursday the 10th of January is our regularly scheduled meeting. No topics are scheduled, however I am thinking about installing FreeBSD on a RaspberryPi unit. I have not tried it out yet, but I have seen some activity on the forums discussing this topic. I don’t think it is ready for prime time yet but it is supposed to be functional.
Remember:
- BSDCan 2013 will be held 17-18 May
- It will be preceded by two days of tutorials on 15-16 May.
- 19 Jan 2013 Proposal acceptance ends if you wish to propose a talk
Just a reminder that Thursday the 13th of December is our regularly scheduled meeting. I’ll be at the
LISA conference in California, so I won’t be able to make it. No topics are scheduled, so feel to meet or not as you wish. The pizza is still good, as well as the various beverages.
On a side note, the call for papers for BSDCan is out:
BSDCan 2013 will be held 17-18 May, 2013 in Ottawa at the University of
Ottawa. It will be preceded by two days of tutorials on 15-16 May.
