10. How You Can Help
Submit information about missing user groups or
listed groups which no longer meet
If you have a BSD-related presentation, make
sure it is uploaded to the conference's website or
a public site (such as your own website or
slideshare) and that the URL is listed at
bsdevents.org
Let us know if you have an upcoming BSD
presentation at a non-BSD event

11. How You Can Help
Submit information about upcoming conferences
which are not already listed on the calendar
Let us know about CFPs so that we can
encourage more BSD submissions. If you see a
CFP, consider a submission!
Contact us if you are putting together an event or
booth and need swag
