We’ll be holding our first meetup of the year on February 15th, at 6 PM. Come join us at the Walnut Street Apple Store in Philadelphia!
Please RSVP at our Meetup page. As always, attendance is free, and we’ll have food, beverages, and lots to discuss about managing macOS and iOS devices. See you then!
Hey everyone! Just a reminder that we’ll be meeting at The Industry in South Philly on Monday. Please RSVP if you’d like to attend – see you then!
We’re a group of macOS and iOS administrators, serving the Greater Philadelphia region (including eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, and South Jersey). Generally, we meet the third week of the month. Our meetings follow one of two formats:
- The even-numbered months take place online, typically over Zoom.
- We discuss “What’s New” since we last met, and dive into a group discussion or a featured presentation (contact us if you’d like to present).
- What’s New and the presentations are posted here after the meetup.
- The odd-numbered months are more open-ended. We’ll either have a social gathering at a local restaurant, or meet at someone’s workplace (contact us if you’d like to host).
All meetings are free to attend and open to everyone (please see our Code of Conduct). To view and RSVP to our upcoming meetings, please see our Eventbrite page.
We apologize for the late announcement for this month’s meeting as we were still looking for a location. Fortunately, Joe from the Apple Store came through and we’ll be holding this month’s meeting at the Walnut Street Apple Store next Thursday, 9/22. With the release of iOS 10 and macOS Sierra this month there’ll be plenty to cover in What’s New and our open discussion, so RSVP here.
Sorry for the late reminder, but we’ll be at the Walnut Street Apple Store tomorrow, August 18th, for our August meetup. On the agenda this month is What’s New and our open discussion.
JAMF Software will again be sponsoring food and beverages
RSVP here and join us!
P.S. We’re still looking for locations to host the September and November meetings and/or if you’d like to present at a future meeting please contact us.
The 2016 Pennsylvania State College Mac Admins Conference was held last month and there was some Philly MacAdmins speaking. Vaughn Miller (@Vaughn_E_Miller) was one of three speakers for the Mac OS Deployment Options workshop on Monday. Workshop sessions were not recorded unfortunately. Jeremy Reichman (@jaharmi) and Sergio Aviles (@chalcahuite) presented “Implementing Configuration Profiles for OS X Management.” This session was recorded and can be watched here. Slides from their presentation can also be found here.
Good job guys and way to represent Philly MacAdmins!
Join us as we return to the Apple Store for our June meetup and 1 year anniversary. On the agenda will be What’s New, and an open discussion. Also, post meetup we will be informally venturing to Philly’s new SkyGarten Beer Garden to continue the discussion and celebrate one year of meetups for our Philly MacAdmin community. So come join us!
Our March 2016 meeting is happening this Thursday, March 24th at Saint Joseph’s University. We’ll be meeting on the fifth floor of McShain Hall.
If you’re taking public transportation, I recommend taking the SEPTA regional rail – the Paoli-Thorndale line stops at Overbrook Station, which is an 18 minute walk to the meeting location. Click the map for a larger version.
If you’re driving, you might have success with street parking – there are metered and non-metered spaces. Another option is the SJU parking garage – Hawk’s Landing is a short walk to the meeting location, and is reasonably priced:
30 Minutes: No Charge
Up to 2 Hours: $3.00
Up to 4 Hours: $5.00
Up to 6 Hours:: $7.00
Over 6 to 16 hours: $15.00
Here’s a map from the parking garage to the meeting location (again, click for larger):
The front of McShain Hall looks like this – if you see this building, you’re in the right place:
Just mention you’re here for the meeting on the fifth floor, and take the elevator upstairs.
If you have any questions, contact me via the About page, @flammable on MacAdmins Slack, or @flammable on Twitter. Looking forward to seeing you Thursday!
Hello Fellow Admins,
Just a friendly reminder that our next meeting is Thursday, March 24th. This month we’ll be visiting Saint Joseph’s University courtesy of our own Mike Solin. On this month’s agenda we’ll be talking about What’s New and Tyler Morgan will giving us a timely primer on encryption. Don’t forget to RSVP so we can plan on refreshments and be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook for any last minute updates.
