While I see much interest in the E-zine, which I share, I want to bring back the topic of getting FreeBSD noticed. Even if the E-zine is a great success among CURRENT (vs stable <G>) users we still need to get FreeBSD noticed by the outside world. What has been tried on th past? My recommendations are: -Some form of paid advertisement in a major NON-TECHNICAL magazine/newspaper. This would be probably costly and to do it right we would probably need the help of a marketting firm. -Articles to editors/contributors of technical magazines. All it will take is people who can write appealing articles that writers in these magazines could either change to their needs or be informative enough for them to want to find out more about FreeBSD. -Link Exchange. Put the FreeBSD site in Link-Exchange. Have as many sites as possible use the code for the FreeBSD site on THEIR pages. This will create a healthy number of exposures for the FreeBSD banner. This is FREE, easy to do and works all by itself day and night after the initial setup. Must definitely WORTH A SHOT.
