rv's techblog: some kind of blog

Earlier today, we announced the creation of the Porto Alegre OSUG [PoA-OSUG].

We are evolving the existing community we created a little over a year ago at UFRGS to a city wide user group. The group has grown steadily over the past year and we decided that it was time to take it a step further.

I think we're in the middle of a momentum build here and in our country, with people from all over the place turning their heads to OpenSolaris. With the creation of this group, we intend to consolidate our efforts. We also have a better infra-structure to keep driving awareness about OpenSolaris and other open source projects.

Here's the email with the proposal to the OpenSolaris Advocacy Group. We received the two necessary votes within a few hours and had our page set up with some initial content.
