I like the former suggestion, BSD Week.
"Advocate" conjures up visions of rabid Linux fans picketing Fry's. ;^)
"Informer" sounds too much like a guy in a trenchcoat dropping off
microfilm of the newest release. ;^)
"Daemon's Advocate" would be a great name for a recurring, back-of-the-
website column. ;^) You know, a nice place to bitch about how stupid
the world of advertising is, show off the author's knowlege of whatever
language it's currently being written in, etc. ;^)
