Re: Open-Source project

[Please forgive the cross-posting to advocacy, and
the possibility that this is no longer questions material,
and any personal affronts  ]

From: "Dylan Nicolini" <dvnicolini <at> comcast.net>

Dear Sir:

I am very eager to contribute to the FreeBSD project. Currently, I am a
Junior in college, majoring in Computer Science. I believe in the theory of
open source very strongly, and I would love the oppurtunity to contribute to
this project. If there are any suggestions on where to start I am very open
to anything.

Hi, folks!

I'm Mit, and i've been your ca.FreeBSD.Org hostmaster for many years. 
I'm pretty quiet on a international scale, but i've been active as a 
local  advocate for the FreeBSD community in every community i have 
involvement in since a copy of FreeBSD 2.0 landed on my desk in early '95.

I have also considered it my duty to encourage FreeBSD mirrors in 
Canada, but I have been constantly frustrated by my ability to have 
corporations provide long-term resources to the FreeBSD Project in terms 
of WWW, FTP, and CVSUp mirrors of the FreeBSD releases, source, and 
documentation.

This frustration has led me to think of turning to the government of 
Canada, starting from the Communications Research Centre (an agency of 
Industry Canada) and working my way up, looking for either them to host 
the FreeBSD mirror or provide a grant to someone to do so.

However, before i speak for the FreeBSD Project, i believe that i am 
honour-bound to request feed back on my intent and method; therefore, i 
ask your feedback, comments and advice on the following letter i think i 
should send first to info <at> crc.ca and see what kind of feedback i receive 
from them (which i would report back).

Also, perhaps any lurking Canadians out there could hold up their hands? 
I sometimes feel pretty lonely out here in this corner of the world 

Regards,
Mit

Re: Grants

Hi Mit,
Like I said earlier, perhaps you can contact me tomorrow (monday) when I

I look forward to hearing from you.
