I made this suggestion previously on the local list, however I will repeat it because it might help others. 1. Poll the users to find a good day/time to set regular meetings. For the SD group I seem to recall that there were no bad nights. 2. Pick a date for your first meeting which equals whatever the next regular day will be plus 30 days. 3. Advertise heavily in appropriate local forums and post to freebsd-[chat?,advocacy?]. In SD I would include the sdnet.computing newsgroup and write up a few paragraphs for the user group columnist in Computer Edge magazine. Regarding the SD group please follow up to the local list, regarding other topics or suggestions follow up to -advocacy. :) Doug -- *** Chief Operations Officer, DALnet IRC network *** *** Proud designer and maintainer of the world's largest Internet *** Relay Chat server with 5,328 simultaneous connections. *** Try spider.dal.net on ports 6662-4 (Powered by FreeBSD) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
