NYCBSDCon is an annual BSD Unix technical conference organized by the
New York City *BSD User Group (NYC*BUG at www.nycbug.org).

Don't miss this great opportunity to expand your network amid the
tumultuous economic environment.

The conference schedule is packed with some of the best and brightest of
the *BSD projects, with topics ranging from file systems to the portable
C compiler, not to mention an array of developer and systems
administrator related meetings.

Registration is only $95 and is available at
.  Full-time students and
Columbia University affiliates receive the discounted rate of $50 with
proper identification.

Please note that early registration now ends on Thursday at noon, when
the conference price jumps to $145.  Registering at the conference on
Saturday will cost $195.

The conference kicks off Friday night, October 10th at 6 pm with an
informal social at Havanna Central at 2911 Broadway between 113th and
114th Streets across from Columbia University.  We encourage all
attendees, speakers and sponsors to join us that evening.
