This month we met at OmniTI again. I gave a talk entitled "Taking the plunge: A guide to tmux for screen users" (slides). It was a very informal talk with a lot of Q&A and some demonstrations. It should be noted that I love tmux.
After the talk we went to Victoria Gastro Pub for some food and libations.

This month, we will be meeting on May 26 at 6:30 PM EDT at OmniTI's Columbia Office ([Google Maps]). (NOTE: Be sure to go to OmniTI and not SRA/RABA!)
This month Jason will be doing a firewall/networking interactive lab. We will be using OmniTI's lab machines along with a custom OpenBSD 4.5 Live CD that Jason created to play with VLANs and PF. Jason has been kind enough to make enough CDs so that you can take one home with you.
After, we will adjourn to a local establishment for refreshments.

We had a good turnout for the OpenBSD 4.5 Release Party. Seven CapBUG members and one wife met at Victoria Gastro Pub. In addition to celebrating OpenBSD's 4.5 release, to be fair we also celebrated Amanda's 2.6.1p1 release, DragonFlyBSD 2.2.1, NetBSD 5.0, FreeBSD 7.2, Firefox 3.0.8, 3.0.9, and 3.0.10.
We were also able to bask in the glory that is Jason's new laptop. While there are BSD files on the disk, we won't mention what OS he runs (it's definitely not Debian).
Thanks to everyone that attended and see you on the 26th.

This month we met for the first time at OmniTI. Thank you to Jason, Devon and Theo S. for allowing us to meet at your office.
Devon gave an excellent talk about Plan 9: Plan Nizzle is tha Shizzle. At our next meeting, we'll take a vote as to whether we should rename CapBUG to CapP9UG and how to pronounce it.
Thank you to Dru Lavigne for posting CapBUG events to her Twitter Feed for BSD Events. We gained a new member to CapBUG and #metabug (freenode) from April's meeting announcement.
After the talk, we met at Victoria Gastro Pub where we enjoyed some good drinks and good food (mmmm.... duck fat fries!)

CapBUG is hosting an OpenBSD 4.5 Release Party at Victoria Gastro Pub in Columbia, MD [map] on Thursday, May 14, 2009 at 6:30 PM EDT.
Please join us for a Lagunitas Undercover Investigation Shut-down Ale (or some other beverage).
Please RSVP either by replying on the mailing list (or email info@capbug.org if you are not subscribed).
This gathering is in addition to the not-yet-planned monthly meeting schedule for Tuesday, May 26.
This month, we will be meeting on April 28 at 6:30 PM EDT at OmniTI's Columbia Office ([Google Maps]).
NOTE THE CHANGE IN VENUE!
One of our new members, Devon O'Dell, will be giving an introduction to Plan 9. He will be showing off some of the basics:
(stuff about using rio, mouse chording, editing the terminal buffer, etc). It'd get into plumbing (e.g. RFC:1234 + middle click = you get to read RFC 1234), private namespaces (goodbye $PATH), and importing / exporting the network stack, which will be demonstrated to work both ways using different network stacks.
If time permits, I might get a bit into some of the differences between Plan 9's implementation of C and its C library as well. (For instance, Plan 9 has polymorphism in structs, and a `typestr' keyword which allows for operator overloading, among other things).
This sounds interesting. Thanks, Devon.
After the meeting, we'll find a nearby place to grab some food and drink.
After a month off, CapBUG is back. This month we met at SRA/Raba Center again in Columbia, MD. We had 9 attendees including two new members: welcome.
Patrick started us off demonstrating PC-BSD. He described the goals of the project, demonstrated the installation process in a VM and showed us a running system on a desktop PC he brought with him. Then, Jason showed us scrotwm running on OpenBSD -current on his new Thinkpad X400. As a scrotwm user myself, I chimed in whenever possible. Finally Maki showed us BSDAnywhere, an OpenBSD LiveCD.
After the meeting, we went to Victora Gastro Pub for dinner and drinks. It was a nice meeting with a good turnout. Thanks to everyone that joined us.

This month we'll be meeting on Tuesday, March 31, 6:30pm EDT at SRA/Raba in Columbia, MD (Suite 205).
We'll discuss using BSD on the desktop (or laptop). Feel free to bring a machine for a demonstration. I will, of course, be demonstrating scrotwm on top of OpenBSD. Like you didn't already know that.
After the meeting, we'll head to a nearby watering hole for refreshments.
