The first meeting of the FreeBSD DC Users Group was held this past
sunday Near Dc. There were 9 FreeBSDers in attendance. Among the
topics discussed were the improving the Mailing Lists and some
contributory ideas as follows:
- Improving the DOC project with contributions from members on their
local speciality. This would include things that might refelect the
linux HowTo project.
- Improving documentation that may be sent out with the FreeBSD
release cd's. This could be a seperate offering that would include a
manual and cd. This would be directed at first time users and the
corperate market. Target for this is the 2.1 Release.
- Working to get more commercial grade packages available for users
and commercial level support available for the users.
- The incorperation of "super-packages" that would be supersets of
currenly available packages. This may include things like a
Sys-Admin package that includes sudo or runas, amanda, tcsh, and
others.
- The creation and support of turnkey systems for users. This would
be directed at a certian use such as routing, firewall, and Internet
connectivity.
The meeting lasted for about 3.5 hours. And was very nice for all
concerned. The next meeting will be at the same place in Tysons
Corner August 19th at 2:00.
If you are interested in joining the group, send mail to:

Announcements are made there. This type of post will _not_ be a
regular occurance to hackers. Only for major accomplishments. There is
work in progress to get a mailing list specifically for the user
groups to communicate.
