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!
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.

Just a reminder that we’re meeting at the Walnut Street Apple Store on Thursday, the 18th this month. Our guest Andrew Feierabend will be doing a Terminal/command line 101, so if you’re new to command line, or you know someone who is, or you just need a refresher please join us on Thursday.
