CapBUG Columbia Meeting - Feb 2014

[Mike Erdely]

Hi, Everybody,

This month, we are meeting at Message Systems
(http://goo.gl/maps/4KDnp) in Columbia on Thursday, February 27 at
6:30 PM EDT.

Gareth will be giving a talk on using virtualization for teach
forensics. It's mostly OS X and Linux focused, but we could use it as
a way to discuss using BSD in some scenarios.

Johan will give a free-form talk on Beets (http://beets.radbox.org/),
a media library management tool.

Please join us for the meeting at Message Systems
(http://www.messagesystems.com/) and then for dinner and drinks
afterwards at Victoria Gastro Pub (http://www.victoriagastropub.com/).

Finally I note that 1.3.3 was released a few days ago and one of my
annoyances which I mentioned has been fixed. You can now pass a flag to
the importer and it won't assume all files in a directory are the same
album. I've not tried it out yet, but I can let you know next month how
it seems to be working out.
