As moderator I want to give Thomas and company speaking about ZFS their time to present and have a good Q&A since ZFS was a popular topic during the month of December. I encourage folks to feel free to talk about FreeBSD after ZFS is done. We can always talk about it over a beverage (maybe next door at Stouts) too if we need to leave the building. If there is big interest we can use a future meeting time to talk about FreeBSD (and compare it to Linux since this is a Linux User Group). As for next meeting location: http://www.penguinsunbound.com/Meetings On Fri, Jan 17, 2014 at 7:41 AM, Andrew Krull <andrew.krull at gmail.com>wrote: > I too would be interested in hearing about FreeBSD.
