Any > information would be greatly appreciated. I & others created one some years back. Still running: http://www.berklix.org/bim/ Like another club too, if you meet once a month, after a while it gets less interesting & less come, then you do a presentation of some tech & more come for a while, etc. That dynamic's probably similar to a Linux, an MS or even an Electronic engineers club. Here we vary the location each time, so its not so boring, ( a previous BSD group in this city died long ago after always meeting at the same place) Some disliked varying etc & formed a splinter group. We still vote where we meet. In Berkeley Calif. they dont vote, but have a simple rule of whoever announces first & assertively. Some clubs in USA cover several towns, so they use a different town each time. One in UK uses same pub every month. Quiet bright venues suit us: Listening to a soft spoken tech. 3 seats along who is maybe speaking or listening in a foreign language, we don't appreciate music & candle dark places - we need to read the sketch on back of an envelope.

See if you can find local groups for SAGE or LOPSA, find the local Universities, community colleges, and tech schools, too. Distribute announcements to mailing lists for the LUG and any tech groups in the schools, etc. Just think of anywhere there might be interest in BSD and get the word out. For our group, I've found attendance ties closely with the presentation. If there's a good presentation then people come. Write up a good description and get it out on mailing lists and on your web site as soon as you can. Some of the people doing BSD User Groups have gotten together at http://metabug.org/ so feel free to join us. We hang out online on freenode in #metabug.

It's Jason Dixon and crew in the capitol region. (jd's cc'd). We are up the line in NYC (nycbug.org) and are focused on NYCBSDCon (.org) for October. I'd also recommend starting up a mailing list, getting the word out to the various BSD lists related to BUGs in a broad way, and then seeing what you have. We are more than willing to host the list if you hit me offline.

The MetaBUG is a group of BUGs worldwide collaborating for events, information, etc. In the Maryland area, we have the Capital Area BSD Users Group (http://capbug.org/). We meet in Columbia, MD, which may be too far of a trek for you.
