OK, I guess that means I'm on the hot seat. :)

Pat, were you taking the lead on arranging this? I know you and
Joe were working on a possible presentation, and that you had some
discussion with Charles Butler about it also. Please be prepared
to report the current status on Tuesday.

Some options to look into: CMU has used Unix for a loooong time
(some people were still using IRIX as late as 6 or 7 years ago).
Also, pair networks is very strong on FreeBSD. A couple of our
former members, Bill Moran (still in the area, AFAIK) and Tom
Rhodes (Washington, DC now I think) were contributors to FreeBSD.

Would you mind contributing that info to the new wiki page
<http://www.wplug.org/wiki/2014_Server_Migration>? I also posted
this link to the wplug-internet list. Please make any more
contributions to the page that you see missing. Thanks!
See you all (except Justin) this Tuesday at 7:00 at IBM Squirrel
Hill!
