[bsdadvocacy] linux world 2004 in NYC

Are there any plans to do anything at Linux World 2004.

[bsdadvocacy] bsdevents.org

P.S.: If anyone wants to take over the bsdevents.org domain, they're
welcome to it.  Otherwise, I'm just going to let it expire.

[bsdadvocacy] The future.....

 Domain Name: BSDADVOCACY.ORG
      Created on: 31-JAN-03
      Expires on: 01-FEB-04

Above is some of the whois data for the domain I registered for the project.  Its going to expire soon, as you
can plainly see, and I have sat back and seriously thought about my position, and future of the group.  I have
had disscussions with ACC about this same subject, and I think I have came to a conclusion.  Since its been
close to a year, without hardly any progress other than some organizational planning, I have decided its
time for me to head in a new direction.  The domain I will keep for my uses, and will keep registered, as I will
most likely find a purpose for it.  However, if the group decides to move on, then the domain will be
available when further progress is made.  As for my involvement, it will be very small, if none at all unless
I decide otherwise in the future.

This will probably be one of my last posts to the list, so I wish you all goodluck in your future endeavors.

Thanks,

Joshua

[bsdadvocacy] progress and logins

Folks:

I hope to be able to crank out some more work on the project (or
resource, as it were) in the coming months.  The plan is to look at
Josef's recent suggestions and go from there.

On another note, those that have shell accounts on bsdadvocacy.org now
have their passwords *-ed out and will be required to have a public key
in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys in order to login.

Joshua Steele and Stacy Olivas: you need to send me your public keys.

ok i get your idea now.

i think we could extend your idea. instead of just doing a quicklinking
we could introduce a page like FreeBSD's gallery, but not with every
enterprise/person/consultant using FreeBSD but just the top players, a
short description, what and how they use BSD.

for example:

yahoo: (...) one of internet's most important search engines (...)
use FreeBSD for serving their websites (...)

then we should also do a page with all bsd projects and their forks,
describing and linking them.

ps: i think we could remove those quicklinks

[bsdadvocacy] content/style

hi!

spent some further time on looking through the pages, and found another
issue.

First of all i think we should put some content to the "contact" page.
create a generic email like bsdadvocacy <at>  or team <at>  or whatever, or put a
link to the mailinglist. we could also mention the irc chan(s) there.

i do not like the style for anchors. you do not notice until you move
over. this is not very practical.

[bsdadvocacy] quicklinks: remove darwin & bsdi

hi!

i had a look at the website, and have a comment on the quicklinks to the
official project pages.

should we really link to BSD/OS? 
first this one has been stopped by windriver (afaik) so, this is more or
less obsolete now. and after all it is a commercial product and i do not
think that we support enterprises, but the community, so why
quicklinking to BSD/OS?

about darwin. shouldn't we link to http://www.opendarwin.org/ which is
the Apple + Community project and not darwin.org. darwin is just the
"unix backend" release from apple where as opendarwin.org is the real
opensource project.

[bsdadvocacy] AdvocacyBot

Okay, AdvocacyBot2 has reached maximum annoyance.  Can somebody please
come in #BSDAdvocacy and shut this thing the hell up?

[bsdadvocacy] Channel Links in IRC

Ok,
I got bored today and decided if I could do it..  I have linked the
#bsdadvocacy channels between irc.striked.org and irc.freenode.net.

Now, everything on one channel is automatically sent over to the other
channel.

Check it out..  I will keep it up for the time being.

Of those suggested, I personally like "Campaign," "Network" and
"Resource" the best.  BAN or BAR are nice acronyms, but using "Group" or
"Gang" simply to get BAG just doesn't work in my eyes, sorry. 

Any others?
