[ug-discuss] Re: [osol-mktg] French/European Open Solaris User Groups

[Jim Grisanzio]

Ok, Laurent ... I made you an editor on the ug community:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/os_user_groups/

Your page is here ... go edit away:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/os_user_groups/fosug/

On your mail list: you mentioned migrating the fr x86 list? What's that? 
Derek can give you an opensolaris.org mail list if you want one. Please 
respond if you do so he's clear. Also, Derek is going on vacation in a 
few hours for a week or so, so he probably will not be able to do the 
mail list till he returns. And any migration issue would have to wait, 
of course.

Welcome ...

Jim
