Since our last meeting a beast known as Leopard has cast a shadow across our altar, and its spirit must be understood. Preferably with the assistance of fine ale and plenty of crisps. In these posts I normally point out some computing event that occurred on the same historical date as our planned meeting, but in researching the data this month I found something much more bizarre: 6th November is the Catholic feast day for Saint Winnoc (believed to have been Welsh or "a Breton"). He was made a Saint for several miracles but principally because when he got old he was able to make a mill grind corn automatically through the power of prayer. I'm confident anybody who has seen a mission-critical server running an MS operating system do a file system check will be able to relate to that. Anyway, to business: What? Who? ============================================================ The Manchester BSD User Group is a group of Unix enthusiasts, users, developers and systems administrators who meet once a month in a pub in central Manchester. If you're interested in the kind of tech that you can pull apart and put back together again (even when you're not meant to), you'll find somebody interested nearby. Where? ============================================================ The Briton's Protection pub on Great Bridgewater Street, in central Manchester. We normally occupy a substantial area in one of the rooms around the back, but now the evenings are getting lighter if it's warm and sunny we may head out to the beer garden (if it's open). When? ============================================================ We always meet on the first Tuesday of each calendar month. The next meeting is on Tuesday the 6th November, and the meeting after is currently planned for the 4th December. We normally drift in to the place around 7:30pm, and most people drift off sometime between 9pm and 10pm. Questions? ============================================================ Feel free to post queries to manchester@bsdgroups.org.uk or you can contact me directly. If you want directions to help find us, or need a mobile number in case you get lost, just get in touch.

Now is the time to get BSD installed and up to speed! Bring in your laptop or desktop box and let's get it going. We can use any and all people skilled in the various BSDs to help out[1]. Even if you do not bring a computer to install, you are welcome to come and see how it all works. Anyone bringing computers, please be punctual so that we have enough time to get everything installed and configured. (IOW, come late and you'll leave using only mail, vi, and lynx). When: Tuesday 2007/11/06, 7:00pm - 9:00pm Location: GIOS - ASU, Tempe Center GIOS is located on the SE corner of Mill & University in Tempe. There's a Chili's on the same corner. Park close to Sack's and proceed to the walkway between building, where you'll find the sliding glass doors to GIOS. See http://bsd.phoenix.az.us/node/174 for a map link. Traditionally, we have been going to Casey Moore's after meetings for a drink or two. If we can wrap things up at a decent time then we'll still do that. [1] If you have FreeBSD/NetBSD knowledge then please, PLEASE come and help out! We have some OpenBSD skills already, but more is always welcome. -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD User Group | MetaBUG dwchandler@stilyagin.com | http://phxbug.org/ | http://metabug.org/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ | Daemons in the Desert | Global BUG Federation
