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.
We held our 1 year anniversary meeting at the Apple Store on Walnut Street. Many, many thanks to Joe Hutsko and his team for hosting half of our meetings this year, including the very first one. Our gratitude goes to JAMF Software for sponsoring the many food and refreshments, too.
Afterwards, we hosted an open discussion, then migrated to Philly’s new SkyGarten beer garden to celebrate our first year of bringing the Philly MacAdmin community together! Thanks for coming to these meetings – we’re all really proud of how this has grown over the past year. Here’s to many more!
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!
We held our April 2016 meeting at the Apple Store. Our continued thanks to Joe Hutsko and his team for hosting us! Also, thanks to JAMF Software for providing food and refreshments!
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. 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.
For those of you who may have missed last month’s excellent “The Shell & You” from Andrew Feierabend, you can grab his slides and see the video here.
