I am going to start a vancouver based canadian BeOS user group. I am designing the web site, and trying to recruit people for it. I hope there are at least a few BeOS users who live in Vancouver or at least Canada. There will be no restrictions other then you have to like BeOS. You don't even have to live in Canada. Is anyone interested?????

just had to add the robot

I live in Ontario and have been using Be in 4.5.2. Sound like cool idea!

Ok cool, I am still working on the layout for the site... I am not the best site designer..... but I will try to stick to the beos window style.

We have donan71 and lethargy from here and gaukler from begroovy.

That is 4 so far... hopefully we will get up to 10... common Canada is a pretty big place!!

If anyone wants to help out with the web site graphics that would be great.

What features do you guys want on the site?

-Forum
-News
-Links
-?????

Any other suggestions??

Well I hope this turns into a great group.

Ok at the moment this is kinda on the back burner... because I have to finish a web site I am getting payed to make (I gotta eat =) )

But I am slowly getting the site together....hopefully I can get free good hosting from some people I know, but If I can't can anyone here host or get good free hosting??

Donan once I get the gfx done (won't be the best....I am not that gifted)
Can I send them over to you to wip up the site? or do you want me to code it?

e-mail me at

Try and recruit more users.

I still need a list of features wanted for the site.

talk to you later

I can lend a hand with the site too. I'm no expert, but I can manage presentable HTML, functional javascript, and, when provoked, a wee bit of lightweight Perl.

I'm not a programmer, but I've been using BeOS since R3.1. By now, I've made most mistakes a time or two and hopefully learned enough from those mistakes to have enough Be knowledge to make a worthwhile contribution, maybe in the form of reviews or simple tutorials. I can also do news updates or whatever else is needed.

If you're interested in the help, you can e-mail me at

Lethargy

BTW, I agree with you that there's got to be more than four BeOS users in all of Canada.

Where are you all?
