Howdy! The subject field in header should tell most of the stuff. If you want to add some description about FUUG to your web pages, you are welcome to use the following text or edit it to suit your web pages. <clip> FUUG has been around since 1984 and it is willing to provide a forum also for the FreeBSD users and developers in Finland to discuss and share information and ideas. We even have our own informal *BSD SIG. Guru-is-in type sessions are organised several times a year without any regular interval, because the experts of the day pretty much have to be allowed to select the times which suit them best. In organising larger events we have concentrated our effort in a yearly mini conference cruise on the Baltic sea and in together with the other Nordic UUGs organising the yearly NordU/USENIX conference in one of the Scandinavian countries. We also try to give our own contribution to the legislators in Finland when new laws affecting IT related matters are being planned. FUUG does not concentrate on any particular flavour of UNIX, but tries to be fair towards any UNIX style environments. This of course does not mean people have no favourites of their own. (The writer of this text is a long time FreeBSD supporter - since 2.0.5, but it does not mean he does not see nor understand the other UNIX varieties he finds around him every day. In fact his professional life nowadays revolves much more around Solaris than any other flavour of UNIX.) We endorse portability and open specifications as our primary goals. We try to broaden peoples' views about computers and computing in general, and try to offer people ideas about what computers and computing could ideally be. (OK our ideal might be somebody else's curse. - Pick your own favourite foe. ;-) As already said we also try to affect the legislative process in Finland when we can, and computer related matters are being discussed. Our web pages are at <http://www.fuug.fi/>. Regrettably they are still in Finnish only, though we have never had a special intention to block out the speakers of other languages. (We apologise the Swedish speaking minority of Finns and all the foreigners living in Finland for the linguistic threshold. Nobody has simply had the time to do the translations yet. - Maybe some of you who already have adopted a fair amount of Finnish could volunteer to help with the translation.) </clip> Cheers, // jau .--- ..- -.- -.- .- .- .-.-.- ..- -.- -.- --- -. . -. / Jukka A.
