Usually someone submits release announcements and the like - but there's no reason we can't be more vocal - e.g. just about anything which goes over -announce is material, as well as beta freezes, major new features added to -current, etc. This also of course applies to the other two camps with the appropriately translated terminology :-) Of course, it's no guarantee that it will all get published, but statistically at least some of it has to :) The more articles we get on /. the more mindshare we get from that crowd - I've definitely noticed the message threads becoming a lot more positive towards BSD in recent months. This is very encouraging. Kris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
