SLUUG, the St. Louis Unix Users Group, has a short presentation tonight from James Conroy: “What You Should Get with GIT” and a longer presentation of “Locking Down Your Web Browser” with Scott Granneman.

BSDCan 2022 is now going to be online, which also means the CFP has been extended so any last-minute-I’ll-go-now-that-its-virtual people can get their proposals in.

(Posting now because waiting for the normal In Other BSDs post will only give you 48 hours of prep time for a proposal.)
