We're proud to announce a new German weblog system which is engaged to the
discussion of free and open source software on Unix- and similar operating
systems. The site will present news, articles, tipps and tricks, as well as
interviews with famous and less famous persons. The first guest is Carsten
Wartmann, author of the Blender-book, which is published by dpunkt-Verlag in
Germany, and by NoStarchPress in the U.S.

Most articles in the discussion forum will be in German, though from time to
time there will be English ones as well. Since we know that there is a very
broad Open Source Software user base in Germany and German-speaking countries,
we are convinced that the site will be a great success. 

The BUUG (Berlin Unix User Group) is a loosely coupled organization of users,
administrators and developers on Unix-based Open Source Software, located in
Berlin.

Happy hacking,
buug-Team
