This month we’ll be meeting on Tuesday, November 18, 6:30pm EST at SRA/Raba in Columbia, MD (Suite 205). Note: this is a change from our normal “last Tuesday of the month” to accommodate the holidays.
We will have a sort of general discussion about PostgreSQL including its license (BSD!), some best practices and possibly some demonstrations.
Starting this month, we’re going to add a new “monthly agenda item” to the meetings. Patrick Thomasson suggested that we encourage our meeting participants to share a small “admin trick” each month. Many of us learn so much from the simple little things others do each day. I think this is a great idea. So, during each month prior to the meeting, if you do something cool in your work, make a note of it and share it with us at the next meeting! Patrick says he already has some to share with us on the 18th.
There will also be updates about DCBSDCon.
After the meeting, we’ll convene for food and drinks at a local establishment.

This month we’ll be meeting on Tuesday, August 26, 6:30pm EST at SRA/Raba in Columbia, MD (Suite 205).
We will have a round table discussion about SysAdmin best practices. If you have any, please share. If you want to demo something, bring your laptop or let me know in advance to see if I can accommodate with my laptop (I don’t usually let others drive). If there is time (of course there will be time), I will give a "dazzling presentation of OpenBSD as a multimedia powerhouse" (ohai, Johan). "dazzling" is code for "short". And "presentation" is code for "thrown-together demo". And "multimedia powerhouse" is a euphemism for "remote MP3 player".
After the meeting, we’ll spend too much time deciding where to grab some grub and drink and then go there. See you there.
