Please respond to me personally as I'm not on this list. [I'm not sure if questions is the right place to post this, but here goes. Please steer me in the right direction if necessary. Any suggestions are welcome.] I live in the Princeton, NJ area, and would be interested in actively participating in a local FreeBSD user group. As I'm a newbie, I figure I would easily get more out than I put in ;-) For me, local would include NYC - I'd gladly commute there for a suitably scheduled meeting. My partner (although he's not very technically inclined) is a Brooklyn resident with an intimate knowledge of the city, so he might be able to help with organisational matters. The nearest group I see listed on http://www.freebsd.org/support.html#user is a group forming in Washington DC, which would not be practical for me to attend except on rare occasions. I've no idea how many users exist in the NYC area, who might be interested in a FreeBSD users group, but it would seem a logical place to have one, especially from an advocacy viewpoint. As a starter, I'd be willing to provide online resources (need to discuss this with my partner though) for a local UG, including maintaining a mailing list. I'd also like to know if there are any guidelines for forming/operating a FreeBSD UG. -- Graeme Tait - Echidna To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-user-groups" in the body of the message
