[openbeos] Announcing NORCAL-HUG - Northern California Haiku User Group, USA

Hello Haiku Fans,

During the Haiku gathering at the Picn*x event last August, a few of us
who live in and around the San Francisco Bay Area talked about
presenting Haiku at user group meetings in the area. In the following
weeks we continued these discussions, and today we are happy to announce
the creation of the Northern California Haiku User Group, or NORCAL-HUG
for short.

Our mission is simple: we want to build and grow a Haiku community in
Northern California, and to that end we will be planning activities such
as (but not necessarily limited to):

* HUG meetings (initially every 3 months)

* Online community building (NORCAL-HUG website and mailing list)

* Represent Haiku at local conferences, user group meetings and other
events

* Organize install fests and/or Haiku workshops

* Network with other local/regional computer user groups

* Build relationships with local/regional high schools and universities

At this point we are the following three members:

- Jorge G. Mare
- Scott McCreary
- Urias McCullough

But we want more people to be part of NORCAL-HUG. So we are inviting all
individuals living in Northern California with an interest in the Haiku
Operating System and/or who would like to shape up NORCAL-HUG to join
us. For now just subscribe to the norcal-hug@xxxxxxxxxxxxx mailing list
shown below, and send a message introducing yourself. We are in the
process of setting up a website, and once this is up and running, you
will be able to register as a HUG member.

Viva Haiku!
