Spread the word . . .


The organizers of NYCBSDCon 2010 are proud to announce the final closing of the 
books for the November conference at Cooper Union.

The profits are being evenly distributed among the four BSD projects--DragonFly 
BSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD--with each check totaling $3600.  Most of the 
projects have already received their checks.

This is an enormous accomplishment for an open source conference, and signifies 
the commitment of the broad range of organizers from the New York City *BSD 
User Group and beyond.

The conference, the fourth one held since 2005, attracted a wide array of 
attendees, in addition to generous sponsors including About.com, New York 
Internet, Isilon Systems, Marvell and iXsystems.

The fiscal backing of BSD Fund, a 501(c)(3) organization, provided accounting 
transparency to the conference.

The organizers would like to thank each and every participant in the 
conference, from the speakers and attendees, to the sponsors and the students 
and staff of Cooper Union for making the event a success.

We look forward to NYCBSDCon 2012, and hope to build on the successes of the 
2010 conference.
