Bay Area FreeBSD Users Group
-- San Francisco BAFUG --
The San Francisco chapter of the Bay Area FreeBSD Users Group (BAFUG) will
be holding it's monthly meeting on Thursday, April 8th. This months meeting
will be held at The Reef in the Mission district of San Francisco. The
meeting will start at 7:30 pm.
Agenda:
==> Bob Bruce, Owner of Walnut Creek CDROM, will give a talk on the
relationship between Walnut Creek and FreeBSD. Walnut Creek CDROM
has been our biggest booster over the years. Aside from pressing
all our CDs since Rel. 1.0 and paying for all the computer and
network infrastructure we use, they have under written a large part
of the cost of development of FreeBSD including paying several key
developers salary. He will share his vision of the future of
FreeBSD and Walnut Creek.
==> Josef Grosch will talk about BAFUGs plans for the upcoming
Install-A-Thon to be held on April 10th 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 April 24th. See
http://www.bafug.org/Install.html
for more details including directions on how to get to the Cow
Palace.
==> Thanks for all the donations of hardware to build BAFUG display &
demo machine for use at the Install-a-thons. A big thinks to
Whistle Communications for providing us with a very long time loan
of a Whistle Interjet for us to use as an FTP server at our
