I finally got around to it… Migrating the contents of the old email list to this site.If you look at the top menu bar, you might see a choice called Historical Information. It’s not much, but it does contain the entire contents of the original mailing list that was used for the founding of the group.

Check it out.

Based on a couple of comments, I have altered the default theme and done a little cleanup. I’m not sure it’s perfect, but it should do for now. I’m willing to take suggestions on graphics and colours.

We now have the Forum software installed. This should allow for a better flow of information, as well as add some flexibility. Suggestions, contributions, or anything should be accepted. I have put in a couple of general topics, but no content yet. I’m hoping to get some stuff posted this weekend..

Monthly Meeting this Thursday at AlteraI just spent the weekend at BSDcan 2004, the first BSD conference in Canada. Turnout was considerably higher than expected (something like 175 vs 75), making it a complete success. There were some very interesting presentations, and we even managed to tape about 1/3 of them.

I’ll be bringing one copy of freeBSD 4.8 and one copy of netBSD 1.5.3 to the meeting to give away. I would have liked to get a few more copies, but they all magically vanished.

I finally got around to getting the newer version installed.Of course, the backup I did from the previous server (e-smith based) was considered lost, as the default backups only include a limited subset of the system, and I thought I had forgotten to use the built-in backup tool.

I found the backup, but I’m not sure where the corruption happened last time, and this version is currently working. I think I’ll hold off on screwing with it until it’s soaked overnight.
