 FreeBSD Bugathon, none

 NYC*BSD is sponsoring a FreeBSD Bugathon along with the Bay Area FreeBSD
 User Group in California. It's a great opportunity to mingle and
 coordinate with FreeBSD developers locally and beyond.

 http://wiki.freebsd.org/Bugathons/2012July

 A basic outline includes:

 o Docs updating and validation
   a. What do the other BSD's say?
   b. Is it it accurate?
   c. Improvements
   d. New docs / examples

 o Porting help for creating new ports

 o Ports bug busting
   a. Confirming PR's
   b. Fixes to open PR's
   c. Testing various config options (i.e. can I set var=yes in make.conf
      and get useful results?)

 We'll also be on efnet #nycbug for coordinating beyond NYC.

 Storage device. The first half will cover hardware purchasing tips,
 steps to build the computer yourself, and common problems that you might
 encounter along the way. The second half will cover how to setup your
 disks (using RAID, ZFS), and configure the required network services to
 get you up and running quickly.

 attendee. He has been building computers since he was 15.
