(www.houfug.org) Most technology clubs in Munich get a much higher turn out when there's a tech talk/ presentation associated, & not just the normal monthly drinking. I guess finding speakers wouldn't be so hard if we organisers were smarter about finding BSD related presentations others have done somewhere in the world, & then identifying someone localy knowledgeable in that area to represent it. It's an offputting amount of work to prepare a presentation, unpaid. Easier if someone else has prepared it already, nicer feeling if preparing, knowing peple globaly might benefit, not just localy ?. Maybe we should be co-operating more, a central repository or some such. At least BAFUG make their videos fetchable, that's a start :-) PS for group Berkeley in Munich: http://berklix.org/bim/ -- Julian Stacey. Consultant Unix Net & Sys.
