                       Bay Area FreeBSD Users Group
                                -- BAFUG --



The Bay Area FreeBSD Users Group (BAFUG) will be holding it's monthly
meeting on Thursday, January 14th. This months meeting will be held at The 
Silicon Reef in the Mission district of San Francisco. The meeting will
start at 7:30 pm.


Agenda:
    ==> Josef Grosch will give a talk the use of Perl, Mysql, and DBD &
        DBI perl modules to create the FreeBSD counter page and
        registration system. This technique has many uses in web site
        creation such as user registrations, shopping carts, etc. This will
        definitely be an "under the hood" talk.

    ==> Jordan K. Hubbard will be giving a "State of the Union" talk. This
        talk will most likely include a discussion of the release of 3.0,
        the move to ELF, the start of the 3.X branch, and the possible
        inclusion of IPv6 into 3.1.

    ==> Nicole Harrington and Josef Grosch will talk about their plans for
        the upcoming Install-A-Thon to be held on January 23rd 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 January 30th. See  

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

        for more details including directions on how to get to the Cow
        Palace. 
 
    ==> bafug.org is off and running! Thanks to Jan Koum and Nicole
        Harrington. The FreeBSD Retail page and Counter page have been
        moved to this site. Suggestions are welcome. 

    ==> Donations of hardware are needed to build BAFUG a test machine
        for use at the Install-a-thons. 

    ==> Pizza and Soda will be ordered and the hat will be passed `round. 

    ==> Of course, we will have the usually kvetchen about sundry topics
