    <description>The Global BSD User Groups organization was founded to help
      promote local BSD user groups by helping to share ideas and experiences
      with other BUG organizations.  Our goals are:
      <ul>
	<li>Foster inter-BUG relations and communications to increase unity
	  in the BSD user group communities.</li>
	<li>Assist in increasing awareness of smaller user groups in the
	  community.</li>
	<li>Facilitate idea and resource sharing through common access to
	  meeting presentation topics and materials.</li>
	<li>Increase exposure to other BSD projects where local user
	  groups may have less member interest or experience.</li>
	<li>Offer a BSD user group for those without a local BUG.</li>
      </ul>
      We are working on ways to provide remote participation through streaming
      video of presentations.  You can check our <a
