[advocacy-discuss] Project Proposal: Research Triangle Park OpenSolaris User Group (RTP-OSUG)

[Joseph George]

+1 from me.

RTP is a great place to start a user-group.

Just one recommendation:

>> In addition to presentation material we will promote the creation of
>> HowTo technical documentation to assist in OpenSolaris deployments  
>> and we'll use space allocated on the portal to make all  
>> documentation available to the public.

It would be great if you also can contribute the material to an  
existing effort.
