New Site Engine

Jason Dixon has created a new Blog engine called Blogsum. He and I have worked to migrate the CapBUG site from Wordpress to Blogsum. This is a work in progress, but the site should be usable at this point.

About CapBUG

The Capital Area BSD Users Group is a group of BSD users and developers getting together to discuss, promote and share BSD related topics and free/open software.

If you're interested in joining and/or contributing, you are welcome to join our misc mailing list. If you have topic suggestions for future meetings, please suggest them on the list. We're also at #capbug on chat.freenode.net.

Mailing List

The purpose of the misc mailing list is to discuss Capital Area BUG related topics. Some off-topic chatter is allowed, but within reason. For more general BSD discussions, please join us at talk@metabug.org.

There are three types of subscriptions to the list: normal (receive each message as sent), digest (receive a daily digest of messages) and nomail (no messages are received, but this subscription can post to the list).

September 2009

We met at OmniTI again this month. Thank you, OmniTI!

I gave a talk [slides] about my recent migration for my mail/web server from i386 to amd64. I also discussed how I installed a ral(4) card in my Soekris to make it a wireless access point. Unfortunately, I think the card overheated my Soekris and crashed my firewall more than once. I have since removed the card.

Equipment:

After the meeting, we adjourned to Victoria Gastro Pub for dinner and libations.
