I like the user group thing, but I am not in a good position to do
something too involved myself. I graduate in a year, and considering the
lack of FreeBSD users on this campus (I only know of 1 other user, who is
not even a student), it would be tough to get something like that off the
ground before I would have to leave it behind. However, it may be worth
trying regardless, if I can stir up some amount of interest.

Out of curiosity, is there some sort of list of existing FreeBSD user
groups? I would be interested to see if there are any nearby who may be
willing to help create some interest among the students here.
