Registration and announcing UNIX-g33ks Part Deux
We are back from HITB2010KUL (expect a write up in a couple of days) and we are raring to go. Apparently some people have been asking if we are going to restart the UNIX-g33ks series while visiting us at the Hard Hack Village and the answer is, YES, we are continuing UNIX-g33ks with Part Deux – FreeBSD essentials.
As before the sessions will be conducted by Suresh Ramasamy, our resident FreeBSD kung-fu practitioner and will be held at HackerspaceKL from 1.30 pm to 3.30 pm. However we are going to be changing a little bit in regards to our fee structure.
- Members of HackerspaceKL – Free ( member benefits rock eh?)
- Non-Members have 2 options to pay for the sessions -
- Full Payment of RM 70 for all 7 sessions.
- An installment plan of RM 40 for the first 4 sessions & the remaining RM 30 for the last 3 sessions
We are also limiting the number of maximum participants to 25 people, and this is done on a first come, first serve basis.
