I also asked if anyone knows of any universities or colleges that teach FreeBSD admin or development skills or if there are any non-cost, free, FreeBSD classes. Do you know of any? Puget Sound Technology is teaching another FreeBSD system administration course in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. The hands-on class will cover the fundamental skills needed for FreeBSD system administration. It will be held May 17-20. The class covers standard Unix administration skills, such as cron, inetd, syslogging, basic networking and user and group administration. Students will also learn the basics of DNS, SMTP, and Postfix and will setup their own DNS zones and Apache-based virtual websites. Other topics include FreeBSD installation, using the ports collection, updating FreeBSD (and updating packages), custom kernel configurations, performance and security tuning, understanding the rc.d scripts, periodic tasks, packet filtering, and more. Course information is at http://www.pugetsoundtechnology.com/training/freebsd/ . Discounts are available. Jeremy C. Reed BSD News, BSD tutorials, BSD links http://www.bsdnewsletter.com/ p.s.

Slides are permitted but not obligatory, but pictures are highly recommended! Typical topics for WIPs might include new open source software projects, specific works in progress for future releases of existing projects, student projects, or other new and interesting things. WIP topics this year may make good conference papers for next year! A one hour time slot is available for WIPs, so the number of slots is limited! Sign up well in advance to be assured a spot. Please e- mail papers@bsdcan.org to sign up -- send a one or two paragraph summary of the topic to be presented, and the person(s) presenting it. Also, please give a time estimate -- typically times will be one to five minutes. The time limit will be strictly enforced. The WIP e- mail registration deadline is May 6, after which remaining slots (if any) may be signed up for in person. Any slides must be provided in advance, in PDF, Open Office, or Powerpoint format. The WIP session will be chaired by Robert Watson. The deadline for slides is midnight Friday 13 May 2005 and they should be sent to rwatson@FreeBSD.org.

This is not targeted to the FreeBSD community and is not the regular release announcement. This is a news release and will not be long enough to cover all the new features, fixes and improvements in 5.4. The PR will be more interesting if it has some anecdotes and comments direct from FreeBSD users and developers instead of me just writing up what I think is most significant. I need some quotes or comments about new features or changes in 5.4. What new hardware support, new features or improvements in 5.4 are important to you or your company? And why? (See ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.4-RC3/RELNOTES.TXT to see the list of main changes.) Anything else in particular that is significant to you about the 5.4 release? Please email me off-list. I have set the reply-to to my address. Thanks a lot for your time, Jeremy C.

This survey is designed to collect the views of both the BSD community and employers in an effort to determine what kinds of tasks are performed by BSD system administrators in their day-to-day duties. Also of interest is the importance of each of these tasks as well as the level of skill required for each. The survey will assist the BSD Certification Group in clarifying what material should be covered in the certification curriculum. It is an important first step in the certification process. It is also a way for the BSD community to get directly involved in the certification effort. This is a very comprehensive survey which will take approximately one hour to complete. Due to the length of the survey, it will be available until midnight GMT May 22, 2005 to give everyone a chance to find time to complete the survey. The survey is available at: http://www.bsdcertification.org/surveys/BSDCertSurvey01_en.html We encourage everyone to not only complete the survey themselves, but to also refer others to the survey. If you know any employers or educators who may be interested in BSD certification, please let them know about the survey. Translations of the survey are nearly complete and should be available within a week. They will be announced as soon as they are available and each translated survey will also be available for a one month period. The following languages should be available: en-us (American English) pt-br (Brazilian Portuguese) pl-pl (Polish) fr-fr (French) ru-ru (Russian) tr-tr (Turkish) lv-lv (Latvian) ro-ro (Romanian) uk-ua (Ukrainian) pt-pt (Portuguese) es-ar (Argentinian Spanish) de-de (German) hu-hu (Hungarian) es-ve (Venezuelan Spanish) nl-nl (Dutch) es-es (Spanish) cs-cz (Czech) lt-lt (Lithuanian) zh-cn (Simplified Chinese) es-mx (Mexican Spanish) et-ee (Estonian) Please set aside some time to take the survey in the language of your choice and help make BSD Certification a success. And- you might win a free book! Details at the above URL.
