-- San Francisco BAFUG --
(Bay Area FreeBSD Users Group)
May 2000 Meeting
The San Francisco chapter of the Bay Area FreeBSD Users Group (BAFUG) will
be holding its monthly meeting on Thursday, May 11th. This month's
meeting will be held at Whistle's corp. office in Foster City. The meeting
will start at 7:30 pm.
Agenda :
==> Our main event is a discussion about the pros and cons of FreeBSD
and Linux.
Come and join Josef Grosch (FreeBSD), Nicole Harrington (FreeBSD)
and Rick Moen (Linux) for a guided tour exploring the different
pros and cons of FreeBSD and Linux. Come and defend your favorite
OS. Tell us what you Love / Hate about FreeBSD or Linux. Our goal
is to develop a large table of comparative data that will then be
placed on the BAFUG website. Why? We want a large and accurate
table of comparison between FreeBSD and Linux to help those trying
to decided on which OS is right for them and to help defend their
choices to their employers. Also it can be used as a nice yard
stick to show were FreeBSD might need improvement. We also want to
provide weights of importance to various users. I.E. X86
performance means nothing to those running servers.
Also, we would like to include the names of those attending this
meeting with the table to help improve its voracity.
==> Josef Grosch and Nicole Harrington will talk about BAFUG's plans
for the Install-A-Thon at the Cow Palace in Daly City on June
10th.
==> Pizza and Soda will be ordered and the hat will be passed
`round
==> Of course, we will have the usually kvetchen about sundry
topics
