User Groups

Sectienavigatie

De wijdverbreide populariteit van FreeBSD heeft tot een aantal gebruikersgroepen over de wereld geleidt.

Als u een gebruikersgroep van FreeBSD kent die hier niet is genoemd, vul dan alstublieft een probleemrapport in voor de categorie www met de volgende informatie:

Een URL voor de website van de gebruikersgroep.
Een emailadres voor contact met het leidende persoon, te gebruiken voor uw bezoekers en websitebeheerders.
Een korte (één paragraaf) beschrijving van de gebruikersgroep.

Inzendingen dienen in HTML te zijn. Om recht te doen aan de geest van FreeBSD verkiezen we gebruikersgroepen die actief zijn en die hun zaak publiekelijk bedrijven. Als u geen groep in uw buurt kunt vinden, overweeg dan alstublieft om andere geïnteresseerde individuën bij u in de buurt te vinden via http://bsd.meetup.com/ en uw eigen gebruikersgroep te vormen.
