For the final meeting of 2015 and our 6 month anniversary we’re back at the Philly Apple Store. This month we catch up on What’s New since our last meeting and Jesse will talk about the mysteries and wonders of awk.

As a reminder, we’ll be on the Executive Conference Room on the 2nd floor. Just head to the back and up the stairs or ask one of the friendly Apple Store employees to point you in the right direction.

Our third meeting was on Thursday, August 20th. Our effusive thanks goes to the Walnut Street Apple Store and Joe Hutsko’s team for graciously hosting us this month. And the community continued to prove their interest with another great showing of attendance.
Serge started the meeting off with “What’s New” a potentially recurring segment that keeps up with all the recent news and events and things of interest to our community. This month we highlighted OS X 10.10.5 update, the iOS 8.4.1, Office 2016 for Mac shipping, and “Tpwn,” the new privilege escalation exploit in OS X that was recently discovered. Jesse Shipley presented and demo’d his new tool for Casper that provides more robust and verbose checkins, called “Deadpool. ” It’s free and available to use on his Github repo: here.
Again, we broadcasted the meeting through Google Hangouts. Here’s the video:
