freebsd announce - Sep 2008 - NYCBSDCon 2008 Registration Is Open

We are proud to announce the release of the speaker's schedule and that 
registration is now open for NYCBSDCon 2008.  The conference will be 
held at Columbia University on October 11 and 12 in Manhattan.

The speaker line-up is an impressive list of developers and systems 
administrators from all of the BSD projects.

We strongly encourage everyone to register as soon as possible.  Early 
registration is $95 and includes not just the meetings, but also 
breakfast and lunch for both Saturday and Sunday.  Walk-ins will be 
charged $145.  With valid current identification, the Columbia 
University staff, students and faculty rate is $50.  Other full-time 
students can also receive this discounted rate with valid identification.

Friday evening, attendees will be gathering at Havanna Central at 2911 
Broadway between 113th and 114th streets beginning at 7 pm.  That will 
also be the location for the Saturday night social.  There are plenty of 
other non-presentation activities such as:

* The BSD Certification Group will be holding BSDA exams. There will be 
general Unix review cram sessions over the course of the conference.

* Live on-site reporting of the conference happenings will be provided 
by BSDTalk's Will Backman.

* Birds of a Feather (BoF's)

Any conference profits will be donated to the BSD projects, as done in 
years past. More information is available at the NYCBSDCon 2008 website.
