It was wonderful to see everyone at this year’s MacAdmins Conference at Penn State University. Our sincerest thank you to the conference organizers for including the Mac Admins Foundation as a sponsor and inviting us to present.

Attending members of the Board of Directors participated in two panels this year. One was an update from the Mac Admins Foundation and its first year. The second was a panel conversation with the board of the Mac Admins Open Source project. Slides from both sessions are available online now at the links below.

As a reminder, we had a giveaway for custom camp flags at the Mac Admins Foundation table this year at the MacAdmins Conference. (To review our drawing winners, please see this post on the Mac Admins Slack.) If your name was selected in the drawing but you didn’t pick up your flag at the MAF table in the vendor hall please Contact Us so we can get that to you.
