                       Bay Area FreeBSD Users Group
                         -- San Francisco BAFUG --


The San Francisco chapter of the Bay Area FreeBSD Users Group (BAFUG) will
be holding it's monthly meeting on Thursday, April 8th. This months meeting
will be held at The Reef in the Mission district of San Francisco. The
meeting will start at 7:30 pm.


Agenda:

    ==> Bob Bruce, Owner of Walnut Creek CDROM, will give a talk on the
        relationship between Walnut Creek and FreeBSD. Walnut Creek CDROM
        has been our biggest booster over the years. Aside from pressing
        all our CDs since Rel. 1.0 and paying for all the computer and
        network infrastructure we use, they have under written a large part
        of the cost of development of FreeBSD including paying several key
        developers salary. He will share his vision of the future of
        FreeBSD and Walnut Creek. 

    ==> Josef Grosch will talk about BAFUGs plans for the upcoming
        Install-A-Thon to be held on April 10th at the Robert Austin
        Computer show at the Oakland Convention Center. This Install-A-Thon
        will be held jointly with BALUG (Bay Area Linux Users Group) and
        CABAL (Consortium of All Bay Area Linux). We will also be holding
        our traditional Install-A-Thon at the Cow Place in Daly City. The
        date for this show is April 24th. See 

            http://www.bafug.org/Install.html

        for more details including directions on how to get to the Cow
        Palace. 
 
    ==> Thanks for all the donations of hardware to build BAFUG display &
        demo machine for use at the Install-a-thons. A big thinks to
        Whistle Communications for providing us with a very long time loan
        of a Whistle Interjet for us to use as an FTP server at our
        Install-A-Thons. Whistle Communications can be found at
        www.whistle.com 

    ==> Pizza and Soda will be ordered and the tab will be picked up by
        Walnut Creek CDROM. Thanks guys!
