Subject: NYCBSDCon 2005 Speaker List

Speakers and topics are now set for NYCBSDCon 2005 to be held at Columbia 
University in Manhattan on September 17th 2005.

The speaker list is impressive.  Scheduled speakers and topics includes:

Jason Dixon will speak on "Failover Firewalls with OpenBSD and CARP"

Jeffrey Hsu of DragonFlyBSD will cover the "History, Goals, Objectives, and 
Structure of DragonFlyBSD"

Dru Lavigne will provide an update on BSD Certification.org

Michael Lucas will speak on "Network Management Tools to Make your Boss your 
Willing Slave"

Marshall Kirk McKusick will address "Enhancements to the Fast Filesystem to 
Support Multi-Terabyte Storage Systems"

Bruce Momjian will enchant attendees with "PostgreSQL in BSD Land"

Phillip Moore will cover "Practical Enterprise Scalability: Case Studies of 
Infrastructure Software Deployed in Production"

Already registered attendees include dozens of developers, systems 
administrators and end-users of the BSD operating systems.  Besides the 
well-known speakers at the event, NYCBSDCon 2005 will also be an excellent 
opporunity for networking with others in the BSD community.

NYCBSDCon registration is open online until September 10th at 
www.nycbsdcon.org.

Registration by September 10th is only $20, payable during the morning of the 
conference.  Onsite registration is $40.  As the conference fee is quite low, 
only cash will be accepted.

A light continental breakfast will be provided throughout the morning, while 
snacks and beverages will be available during the afternoon.

After the conference concludes at around 5:30 pm, attendees will meet at the 
West End bar, in a back room reserved for the conference, just across Broadway 
from Columbia University.  The after-party is sponsored by OrgCom, the entity 
that held last year's New York Technical Community Holiday Party.

Sponsors, besides the hosting technical user group NYC*BUG, include USENIX and 
New York Internet.

We look forward to having a successful event.  Join us in making it a success.
