Information on starting a BSD User Group

[Sdävtaker]

Hey, congrats.
I started a bug in Buenos Aires few months ago, same scenario.
We started making a mail-list in university as 0 mile, then we were
expanding outside of it, but we keep using university as meet point.
We meet once per month and run the list, we starting to join
freesoftware events.
We try to grow slowly, but solid.
MetaBUG helped us a lot, we posting meetings there and you can ask for
help in the chat :-)
good luck with the BUG!
Damian :-)
