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: Majordomo@kryten.atinc.com with subscribe in the body. 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. -branson -- MATHESON, E BRANSON E.B.MATHESON@LaRC.NASA.GOV Mail Stop 931 COMPUTER SCIENCES CORPORATION NASA Langley Research Center Assigned to Operations Support Division Hampton, VA 23681-0001 Phone +1 804 864-9700
