Believe it or not, we were able to convince Michael W. Lucas @mwl to give the April 1st talk for NYC*BUG. His talk is entitled :
"What's Changed Since The Last Time I Came this Way: a talk that was supposed to be about OpenZFS."

Details to follow.

@quoidian @mwl when I posted the meeting notice to the NYC*BUG mailing list I added language saying we were honestly having a meeting!

Only one way to tell: is his speaker's fee in gelatto?

@quoidian @mwl and NYC has pretty good gelatto! Unfortunately it will be a remote presentation.

You think the talk being remote gets you off the hook?

Michael W Lucas and Allan Jude are busy working on a new OpenZFS book, which means not only documenting everything that’s changed in the last 12 years but discovering everything that they got wrong the first time. The quest for accuracy has taken Lucas deep into mailing list archives, Usenet, VAX installation manuals, the Kremlin’s first Internet connection, the United Nations’ effort to merge the BSD projects, and the ULTRIX and S51K filesystems, and left MWL more convinced than ever that filesystems are nothing but a April Fools’ prank. This hurriedly conceived and hastily assembled talk will update you on new OpenZFS features, but will also try to determine if it’s a good prank–or not. - more info on website.

Yep. I'm gonna show up for a talk on 1 April and not, say, send Chuck Tingle in my place. Pinky swear.
