The NYCBUG Troff presentation is tomorrow night. If you want to attend – and you should, cause it’s online – you need to email to register. I’ve seen the presenter, James K. Lowden, before; he’s an enjoyable speaker. Go, even if you aren’t near.
The first link here is the one that everyone should take advantage of.

Also, the Polish BUG is meeting tonight. I say “tonight” for both of these, but they are very different time zones.
The Dusseldorf BSD.nrw BUG is also also meeting tonight. Second Tuesdays are popular!
This week’s BSD Now has links to a number of about-BSD articles, as usual. Take note – there’s links to two European BUG meetings I didn’t have noted, under Beastie Bits.
NYCBUG meets tomorrow, at Chartbeat. You can bring in food, too! Go, if you are near.
