Well, there should be a place for everything. Here is where we pile all the fine bits of greaseless information. See what's been added to the site, check all the Events (lots of gatherings in lots of places), ride the IT Shortbus and catch a few technology tips, or totally zone in the Greasy Spoon.

New Stuff and Announcements

This new "News page" will make it easier and faster for us to let you know what's been added to the site. Only staff can start threads here. You are more than welcome to reply. If you have something you'd like to add, contact a moderator.

If you're looking for the old New pages, they are here. At some point, we will get all the data from them ... and put them someplace logical.
