Perhaps better repost to list freebsd-user-groups@ not advocacy@ http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-user-groups "Michael W.

I started a BSD user group in Munich with the opposite view: A previous BSD user group here had died a boring death partly because IMO it kept meeting in the same boring small local bar. The Munich group http://berklix.org/bim/ we later created has been meeting in a different restaurant every month for years now, (Indian, Greek, Persian, Bavarian, Italian etc) & we're still doing that. A few in Munich then wanted to meet in the same place every month, & they splintered of. We (BIM) decide where we're going by nominating & voting on our mail list, hence people get to see who else is up for it this month etc. To see how we do it http://berklix.org/bim/stammtisch/ If you need a mail list to co-ord it, I can give you one if no one nearer will. > But, if someone wants to take point on getting a place in east or > central SeMI, I'd show up.
