Philly Represent

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!

March Meeting Directions

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.
