NetBSD at LUG Radio Live USA 2008

Greetings to all of you,

I wanted to first of all thank Kevin and David for helping out with 
NetBSD at the Southern California Linux Expo, I was extremely pleased 
that there was a good solid BSD presence at the show.  Once planning for 
SCALE 7x begins I was definitely be in contact.

As you may have heard, the LUG Radio team is planning a LUG Radio Live 
in the US for 2008.  The event will take place in San Francisco, CA on 
April 12th and 13th.  I have been asked by the LRL team to help find 
exhibitors for their show and I wanted to see if there might be interest 
from the NetBSD communtiy in being at LUG Radio Live.

Thanks!
Gareth

NYCBSDCon 2008

We are proud to announce further details on NYCBSDCon 2008, to be held 
at Columbia University on October 11-12 in New York City. NYCBSDCon.org 
  been updated with the Call for Papers and information for interested 
sponsors.

NYCBSDCon 2008 Call For Presentations

Continuing on the success of 2005 and 2006, New York City BSD Conference 
(NYCBSDCon) is the main technical conference on the US East Coast for 
the BSD community to get together to share and gain knowledge, to 
network with like-minded people, and to have fun. This event is 
organized by members of the New York City *BSD Users Group (NYC*BUG).

The NYCBSDCon program committee is accepting submissions for 
imaginative, embryonic and energizing presentations surrounding the BSD 
operating systems. We are looking to attract a wide range of speakers 
and attendees; therefore, topics of interest range from the esoteric to 
development to practical, everyday sysadmin life. Of course, original 
topics are preferred in most cases.

Each talk is expected to be 45-50 minutes, including a few minutes for 
questions and answers if the speaker wishes - potentially recorded. 
Presenters will have audio/visual and network connectivity.

Abstracts for presentations are due July 15, 2008.

Authors of accepted submissions should be able to provide the full 
presentation for publication on NYCBSDCon sponsored mediums. Further 
instructions will follow notification of acceptance. Submissions 
accompanied by a non-disclosure agreement or a product advertisement

Go under the individual OS ... the site needs a bunch of work as far as the 
sub-pages are concerned :(

another orange(*) flag

Today I decided to revive my long lost hobby of making ascii art.
See the result here:

It is very pretty IMHO!

If there are other ASCII logo it would be nice to have all into
htdocs/gallery/otherlogos.xml (or another page).

Ciao, Leonardo

Wipathon report

Hello pkgsrc users and developers!

The First Wipathon has ended with success.
We were focusing on the cleanup of pkgsrc-wip, here's how it went:

We could tidy up pkgsrc-wip and import some packages to pkgsrc.
There are some other software we have made ready to use, and only needs
some testing before we can import them.
We have also got rid of outdated and long time unmaintained packages.
But the most important is, that we could share and discuss our ideas.

Here's a list of some changes:
  * Updated: clisp, chicken, noweb
  * Imported: dvtm, hunspell-hu_HU, words, portmap, bin86, lilo, tkabber, mopac, yabause
  * Almost ready, but needs testing: php-suhoshin, confuse, lat, php-doc* and many others!

For a more detailed list please see:
  http://wiki.netbsd.se/The_first_Wipathon#To_Be_Imported

For more information on pkgsrc-wip see:
  http://pkgsrc-wip.sourceforge.net/

Thanks for everyone who helped us!
