<![CDATA[Any input running a Unix user group?]]>I recently relocated to a place with no local BSD/Linux/Unix user group. There is a burgeoning IT scene of local geeks and professionals and I think it's a ripe environment for a Unix user group.

My motivation: I'm passionate about discussing ethics in IT, teaching Unix-fu, and helping people install free/open Unix (install fests let's gooo).

Does anyone have any experience with running a user group? What feedback do you have?

Long live liberated Unix

A user group solely for locals to meet in person and, occasionally, online?

Exactly. I was part of my Computing Society at university; it was a great way to meet, learn, and share. I haven't attended a LUG/BUG in years... I miss being part of a 3rd place for Unix nerds and am up to try and steward a group.
