hi vince/ghodmode hmmm.. perhaps OSDC should collect a list, with (contacts and URL) of ALL the FOSS (Free & Open Source SW) UGs in Malaysia. I am an active member of the Python user group,
<pytho...@googlegroups.com> and I believe there is a PHP group, not sure if there is a Java grp, but I know a number of active Java guys. I also know there is a Ruby grp. As for FOSS operating systems, the ones that have been active on this list is: there are the ubuntu, PCBSD, and Fedora/Red Hat ... So I guess everyone shld contribute their contacts to a list somewhere?
