> 
> We have founded a new *BSD User Group in New York City, the New York
> City BSD Users Group (<http://www.NYCBUG.org/>, pronounced 
> "nice-bug").
> It is our goal to make this B.U.G. a longtime success, and a permanent
> bright fixture in the skyline of New York City Metro's I.T. technical
> communities.
> 
> There are two goals for this new user group.
> 
> First, to provide a forum for the many BSD users in New York City to
> discuss and debate topics of interest to the BSD community. 
> 
> Second, to provide a bridge to users interested in learning more about
> or expanding their knowledge of the BSD family.

> -  Our kick-off event will be a free "birds-of-a-feather" session at
>    LinuxWorld Conference & Expo, at the Jacob Javits Center 
> on Thursday,
>    January 22nd, at 5:45pm, Room 1E15. We will have a presence at
>    various tables at the expo, including those of BSDMall and New York
>    PHP. 
> 
> -  Our first monthly meeting will present on, "Secure by Default:
>    Learning from OpenBSD," will be held on Wednesday, February 4th at
>    7:00pm in the offices of: SageSecure, 116 West 23rd Street and 6th
>    Avenue, on the fifth floor.
> 
>     Presented by Wes Sonnenreich, author of "Building Linux

>    (<http://www.NYPHP.org/>) and OpenlySecure.org, focused on 
> providing
>    original documentation to new and experienced BSD users alike.

> NYCBUG is open to all interested individuals, including, but

> Since the origins of the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) Unix in
> the 1970's, BSD has been a consistent force among the backroom servers
> of the world, powering internet service providers, hosting firms, and
> web sites such as Yahoo! and 2600.com. NYCBUG works to assist current
> users, those interested in learning more about this fundamental
> operating system family and various other BSD projects, and 
> to provide a
> channel for community interaction. 
> 
> We look forward to supporting the BSD community in a variety 
> of ways in
> the coming months and years. Please join us in making NYCBUG 
> a success.
> E pluribus unum.
