Well, I decided to just go ahead and start a BSD based user group in the Los Angeles area. I am trying to fill a niche in the Los Angeles based Unix community. I have seen tons of Linux groups, but I don't want to join one of those groups and be labeled as a Linux user. I use *BSD, and I'm DAMN proud of it!! :) Anyways, I needed some help. Before I start going wild promoting the idea and what not, I just needed a bit of help. I have been working on the homepage for this organization and I needed some constructive criticism. The one part where I really need some ideas on is a one-liner description of what BSD is and where/why/how it was created. You can take a look of what I came up with, but I'm not too happy with it. The site needs alot more to go. I hope to have it all up and ready by March. Also, I do have a Yahoo club about BSD...actually my club is on freebsd.org under User Groups. I guess now I *really* have to get it up and moving. ;) Don't want to dissappoint anyone, right? I have decided to call it: BSD Users of Los Angeles (BSDULA) Sort of long and clunky, huh? Oh well, it gets the point across. Oh yeah, I didn't want to just keep it FreeBSD only either so I decided to make it a general BSD user group. I guess Linux people are welcome too, but we'll just try to convert them. *grin* Thanks for your help!
