On November 21st, 2024, we held our first in-person meeting since before the pandemic! Up until this point, we’ve done the meetings (with a slide deck) over Zoom, and held social meetups at Yards. Of course, we love Yards and will continue to visit, but this was a huge deal for us. Thank you to Dennis Moffett and Rutgers University for making this possible, by hosting us and providing food and refreshments.
While we had a livestream, if you weren’t there, you missed it! John Mahlman covered What’s New, Dave Goldberg filled us in on what happened at JNUC, then John put on his Mac Admins Foundation hat and talked about the 2024 MAF Membership Drive (with a little help from Chris Dawe over Zoom).
Thanks to everyone who came out! We’ll see you at the next one!
We held our August 2024 meeting last night, on the 27th. Thanks to everyone who attended, and to our presenters! John started by covering What’s New. Our special guest, Dave Siederer, presented on cloud Macs, virtualization, and automation.
See you at the next one!
We held our June 2024 meeting over Zoom, on the 26th. Thank you to everyone who attended! John covered What’s New, then we had an open discussion.
Per usual, we’re planning to skip a July meetup, since PSU MacAdmins is in a couple of weeks. We’ll see you at the next one!
Hey everyone, thanks for coming out! We had a great time – unfortunately, no pictures this month. See you at the next one!
Update: here’s what Bing thinks “a group of seven Mac nerds all hanging out at a bar” looks like. Close enough!
On February 20th, 2024, we held our first meetup of the year – this time, on Zoom. Thanks to everyone who joined us! If you missed it, or would like a refresher, John covered What’s New. Then, we held an open discussion. Here’s the video:
See you next time, maybe in-person? 😄
Last night, on October 17th, 2023, we held our second post-pandemic meetup at West Chester University!
Serge covered What’s New, then Brett Gross discussed many of the new macOS Sonoma, iOS 17, and iPadOS 17 features that are relevant to our work as Apple device administrators (and we might have missed).
Our thanks to WCU and Will McGrory for providing the venue, food, and refreshments! Also, thanks to Brett Gross and Kelly Dunaway from Apple for an excellent presentation!
It was great to see everyone in person again, and we’re looking forward to doing another one like this soon!
We held our last summer meetup on August 22nd, 2023. John covered What’s New, and Trevor Sysock from Second Son Consulting joined us to talk about Baseline (here are his slides)! Thank you to Trevor, as well as everyone that attended!
I completely forgot to post – our May meetup at Yards was a huge success! We were blown away by the number of people that came out, including a couple who made long trips from outside of the Philly area just to be here. Thank you! We had a blast, and we’ll definitely be doing this again soon.
Huge thanks to Adam @ Jamf for footing a large portion of the bill, as well as holding a raffle for AirTags and MagSafe chargers!
For July, we opted not to do another in-person meetup, as many of us were already attending PSU MacAdmins. It was great to both old and new faces at the conference! We took both “Philly” and “Springboard alumni” photos:
Come hang out with us at the next one! Stay tuned here and the #philly channel on the Mac Admins Slack!
Thanks for joining us for our June 2023 virtual meetup! John covered What’s New, and we had an open discussion. Please see the slides and video if you missed it!
We’re going to skip our in-person meetup for July in favor of PSU MacAdmins. If you’re attending the conference, look for us and say hello! We’ll have GPMA stickers, buttons, magnets, etc. Otherwise, see you at the next virtual meetup in August!
