Portland's 12-month, three-track open source conference
The Portland Linux/Unix Group meets three times a month:
First Thursday General Meeting at PSU
Third Tuesday Advanced Topics Meeting at Free Geek
Third Sunday Clinic at Free Geek
We try announce our speakers two weeks in advance but some times it is last minute. They're usually conference-quality none the less.
Many attendees will break for a social hour at the Lucky Lab Brew Pub NW at 1945 NW Quimby
See you there! |

Michael Dexter will talk about the new PC-BSD 10 releases and he and David Mandel will host an open discussion of the PLUG year in review and plans for 2014.
PC-BSD is a desktop-oriented distribution of FreeBSD includes a few more things than the average open source OS distribution:
* Desktop Agnosticism (Includes KDE, Gnome, MATE, and many more)
* OEM Installs (Set up an account on first boot)
* A server option without GUI tools
* Integrated Virtualization
* ZFS Storage with visual management
* Built-in PXE netboot environment
* "kickstart" style system installation scripting
* Integrated Package creation tools
* FreeNAS backup integration
* Many more things that make Michael giddy
Michael has used BSD since 1991 and works for the ScaleEngine global content delivery network.
