[snips]
We could be wrong. Question to everybody who's seen Brett's messages: should he continue, or should he stop? If the consensus is that he should continue, I'll shut up (that places no similar requirement on Jordan, of course :-)
[shrug] It takes all types to make the world go 'round. Linux doesn't seem to be harmed at all by overly passionate advocacy.
I'll have to agree with Wes Peters. We need to convice more managers that FreeBSD is viable for helping them solve real world problems. The mainstream computing press isn't really that impressive, or unbiased. We need to seek out new venues.
Personally, I am very grateful for Walnut Creek's assistance to the FreeBSD project. Almost certainly, FreeBSD would not have advanced to its current form without WC.
It might be easy to criticize, but then again, try walking a mile in Jordan's shoes. It won't be easy.
Perhaps we could start a contribution fund for additional marketing? Where do I send my $$$'s?
Cheers,
