Here are most of our members (minus 3) that attended the first official BUGS meeting in Sydney. We had a fulfilling lunch at the Kwangtung Palace in Hornsby followed by an informal chat about the who, what, why and where of the organisation. text/html 2009-10-22T08:04:16+00:00 http://www.bugs.au.freebsd.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/bugs?rev=1256198656 [BSD Users Group, Sydney.] BUGS is a group of users of BSD based operating systems who live in NSW, communicate via a mailing list, and meet occasionally in Sydney and surrounds. Our first group meeting was on 16 May, 1999. Activities include support, advocacy, and sharing of resources and information, but a major objective is to enjoy each other’s company and have a good time without actually wasting time. text/html 2009-07-24T06:45:51+00:00 http://www.bugs.au.freebsd.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/channeltopics?rev=1248417951 A lot of time and effort goes in to choosing an IRC channel topic that suits the group.

We set up a mailing list and started advertising on the relevant FreeBSD mailing lists. As soon as discussion started within the group we realised that we wanted to include all BSD operating systems. When strict rules were imposed many people withdrew from the group, returning to a new structure without rules and leaders but based … text/html 2007-11-09T23:02:19+00:00 http://www.bugs.au.freebsd.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/infrastructure?rev=1194649339 As a general principal, BUGS infrastructure should not be reliant on a single person.

IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. It’s a text-based chat service which predates all those ad-infested, bloated, virus-ridden commercial offerings like Yahoo! Messenger, MSN, etc. Just as there is no single web server, there is no single IRC server; you can connect to various public servers on the internet. Examples of well-known ones are freenode and efnet. On a particular server, conversation is divided into separate groups called channels. All messages in a channel are visi… text/html 2009-10-22T10:40:12+00:00 http://www.bugs.au.freebsd.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/members?rev=1256208012 ---------- [Sue] Sue Blake is a sysadmin, sometimes adult educator and researcher, who runs FreeBSD on Intels and dabbles with BSD systems on Macintosh hardware and works with that commercial unix which changes its company almost as often as its name.

Feel free to add something to the list if you are interested in a particular topic, and maybe someone will pick up the baton and discuss it at the next meeting. Conversely, if you see anything you feel you can shed light on and want to share it with other members, let us know on mailing lists or IRC and let’s get it happening at the next meeting!
