--PAKmkkBo0+rTwAqJ Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, =20 once again, Linuxtag, Europe's largest Linux exhibition and conference, took place in Karlsruhe, Germany. A bunch of people representing FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Opendarwin and OpenSSH set up a booth to show people what quality software looks like. On the FreeBSD side of things, we finally had some merchandising stuff to show and sell. Wim Vandeputte and FreeBSD Mall provided us with T-Shirts, Books CD sets and stickers. Josef El-Rayes gave an introductory talk about FreeBSD, which many people were interested in (actually the lecture room was too small, so some people had to stand). =20 The booth was very well visited most of the time. It is interesting to see, how many people are surprised that FreeBSD runs KDE, Gnome and all the other stuff they usually know from Linux. Of course they are even more surprised when you show them a PDF file using the Linux Acrobat Reader :-) I think it is safe to say that the booth was very successfull, and that we now have a couple of new FreeBSD users :-) The Linuxtag FreeBSD booth was brought to you by: Josef El-Rayes, Tilman Linneweh (arved@), Markus Brueffer and Christian Brueffer (brueffer@). Hubert Feyrer wrote a summary about the NetBSD activities at Linuxtag, you = can read it at http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-advocacy/2003/07/14/0000.htm= l.
