Off the top of my head, this might be useful for: - Swapping information about suppliers in the UK who ship hardware that FreeBSD works with. - Using FreeBSD with ISPs in the UK, sharing of config files and the like - Co-ordinating mirrors of FreeBSD information from an ftp, sup and http standpoint. - Stimulate the use of FreeBSD in the .ac.uk domain (where most students seem to be running Linux, because it's all they've heard of) - Co-ordinate with the UKUUG (UK Unix User Group) and LUUG (London Unix User Group) with the events that they run. - General chit-chat. - Meetings, get togethers, pub crawls and so on. . . Thoughts? If people are interested then let me know, and I can start a list hosted here.
