BSD Conference in NL

On Saturday, 9th of May, there is the Spring edition of BSD-NL Our lovely BSD conference, held in the Netherlands. Or more specifically, in Utrecht - which is the centre of our little country.

Do you use the BSDs in any way - whether personally, professionally? Everyone with even the slightest interest into the BSDs is welcome, whether you are a beginner or a seasoned maintainer/contributor There will be a couple of talks/presentations, plenty of room and time to hack - and to socialize if that is your thing

So: grab a ticket, join the awesomeness: BSDNL.nl And follow @bsd_nl

Ho appena donato a #GhostBSD che è la versione di #FreeBSD che attualmente uso sul mio PC principale a casa. È una versione nata per l'uso desktop, con un'installazione semplificata e diverse cose già configurate. Richiede un po' più conoscenza e di voglia di imparare, rispetto alle disto GNU-Linux recenti. Il progetto ha un team piccolo, ma è sviluppato in modo eccellente. Donate sempre qualcosa, ai progetti che amate, specialmente se fatti da poche persone appassionate. Li aiuta a continuare.

I tried out the live environment of GhostBSD's Gershwin Community preview. There's a lot of work to be done, and I hope it'll get there. The MATE and Xfce images set a very high bar for a project that really has no equals at this point. https://www.ghostbsd.org/download
