Quick questions. -Is there a mailing list for the group? -Was an organization/structure ever stablished? -Was a statement of purpose ever done? -Where is the site hosted? I could work on the site if I am given FTP rights. It is nice to see you also have the bsdunix.net domain... we could do something with that in the future... -After the initial meeting how many people have stated they are still interested? My suggestions for the group are in order of relevance: 1- Create a list 2- Stablish what the goals for the group will be 3- Create an organization structure where volunteers have clearly defined duties. It may sound like a lot of work, but it really doesn't have to be. Also for the goals for the group it could be something as simple as "promote FreeBSD in the tri-state and help fellow FreeBSD users in the area". Also it is nice to actually meet people but I think that the biggest force behind such group, at least initially, will be the mailing list and the site. When meetings do occur they should have a purpose and even if it is just for 20 to 30 minutes the purpose of the meeting shoudl be met. After taking care of business we could all just talk about our favorite topics or just bash MS for the rest of the night. :-) Till soon.
