There is a list of user groups at http://www.freebsd.org/support.html and you can get there from our page http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html If there is a group in your area, they'll be delighted to have you join them. If not, maybe you'll start one :-) Meanwhile you (and others) could consider helping out in any other ways that might interest you. The FreeBSD Documentation Project http://www.freebsd.org/projects/docproj.html has lots of jobs that newbies can do. The FreeBSD-Advocacy group is a mailing list where ideas are tossed around until some people actually get out there and do stuff. Also subscribe to the FreeBSD-announce mailing list for news of important events, sometimes including meetings. Mailing list details are at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/eresources:mail.html (be sure to read the list charters first). There's always newbies in freebsd-questions looking for help and advice if you're well up on a particular area, or just listen in. Daemon News (http://www.daemonnews.org/) is always looking for good articles, or just enjoy what others have written, and tell your Linux friends :-) If you have any ideas for what else newbies can do, or what can be done for newbies, the freebsd-newbies discussion group is a safe place to get a few heads together. I hope you find everything you're looking for! -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
