Some fresh stories would definitely be nice. While beating the walnut creek, yahoo!, snarnoff labs drums does make a pretty and compelling sound, some new success stories that make people sit up and listen aresorely needed, at least on my part. Also firmer numbers where possible would be nice. (Yeah, I know we all want better numbers.) Are there any other impressive services using FreeBSD we can tout as examples of FreeBSD's capabilities? So far some people I have described your voice-mail system to have definitely had their intrests piqued. It sounds like a server oriented application that could be in tune with FreeBSD's other success stories. If we can get any of these written down, even better. I try to keep a copy of the FreeBSD news letters, #1 and now #2, somewhere visible at my desk. If they catch someone's eye, I give them a copy and run off another copy on our color printer. I guess for such tailored stories though, we have to decide upon our audience. Some people react better to my explaniation to devfs and layered filesystems than they do to network through put. My guess is that the tone should be directed a technical managers and their like.
