Hi all,

Here are the events for Week 2. Remember that events are free for non-members until Week 3 (inclusive).

Mac OSX - Like UNIX, only more so Graham J Lee Wednesday 19 Oct 20:30, Oakeshott Room, Lincoln College ------------------------------------------------ Mac OSX is Apple's Unix based next generation operating system. Graham J Lee will be giving an overview of OSX, as well as diving briefly into the OSX APIs which are stunningly sexy. He will also go through some of the more important open source projects built up around OSX.

FreeBSD Release Engineering Murray Stokely Friday 21 Oct 20:30, Oakeshott Room, Lincoln College ------------------------------------------------ Murray Stokely, a FreeBSD core team member and release enginner, will describe the open source FreeBSD Project. He will talk about the history, how it differs from Linux, and some of the exciting new developments. He will focus particularly on the development organization, and how source code changes are managed and how releases are built.

The speaker of Friday's talk, Murray Stokely, has asked me to pass on his words that he would be interested in talking with anyone who is just graduating and looking for work, as Google is hiring aggressively.
