This thread started out about OSDL and how it was Linux specific and we never got a shot at being part of it. Well here is a chance for BSD to be a part of one of these projects. The OSDN people have started a Content project to be a clearing house for news relating to open source projects, to be a voice for smaller projects that are not as heavily published as others. It's goal is to be fair, balanced and all the goodies we want. It is just now getting started and I have signed up for doing BSD content. What they need now is donations of co-lo, spare hardware etc.. The project leader seems to be very itnerested in a level playing field and having everyone heard equally. Some might be thinking "great another slashdot". But there will be no place for comment, or feedback, except the editor who published the news article. His/Her email will be listed and thats it. No flame wars, no disputing this or that or tearing the article apart. It's just a news outlet. All the open source projects are going to be represented. Assuming each project volunteers someone to maintain the content for said project. I am asking for any of you who want to see BSD get a more even handed shake at being part of projects like this to donate any spare hardware you have, or even better BW and/or colo space. They really need some space to host the equipment. And an extra server or two wouldnt be turned down. But for those who feel FreeBSD and BSD in general are never included in these type or projects. Here is the chance for BSD to be a driving force and be heard from the beginning at the ground floor. If you are interested in helping out shoot me an email. ============================================================================= -Chris Watson (316) 326-3862 | FreeBSD Consultant, FreeBSD Geek Work: scanner@jurai.net | Open Systems Inc., Wellington, Kansas Home: scanner@deceptively.shady.org | http://open-systems.net ============================================================================= WINDOWS: "Where do you want to go today?"
