Agenda : -- It looks like a full house of speakers boys and girls, so please
try to be on time as we want to make sure everyone has plenty of time.
==> Our main speakers will be from 3Ware, Makers of some really great ID
E RAID cards. I have built quite a few servers with them and I may never go
back to SCSI for anything less than really really stressed servers again. With
Built in FreeBSD drivers, A web based interface and emailed trouble
notifications, it really is a great way to go. These baby's are fast too!
==> Doug Ambrisko "may" be doing a demo of his Cisco/Aironet "monitor" code.
==> Julian Elischer has been working on an 802.11 AP implemented on a box
running FreeBSD; he's in town, and indicated a desire to exhibit his new
toy.
==> Whistle is providing Internet access for folks who bring their own
machines -- both wired (10/100 UTP) and wireless (802.11b; SSID is
"bafug").
==> Pizza and Soda will be ordered and the hat will be passed `round
==> Of course, we will have the usual before meeting anouncements and job
notices as well as the after demo mingling and talking about sundry
topics.
