Ideally, link to <https://freebsdfoundation.org/freebsd/timeline/>; with 1BSD Release at 1978-03-08 on the BSD timeline, which runs above and parallel to= the FreeBSD timeline.=20 ---- Consider adding a paragraph to address the somewhat stereotypical view that= use of FreeBSD (or FreeBSD on notebooks), by FreeBSD developers, is unusual (or= a rarity).=20 Please see, for example: <https://old.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/u5nkli/-/i54c1st/>; ---- Anything else?=20 We had bug 260763 fixed not long ago for the same page, so (I guess) nothing hugely important at this time.=20 Looking ahead: revisit advocacy well ahead of the (2023) thirtieth annivers= ary of FreeBSD.=20 (An update to the Foundation's timeline page will be smart, but that's beyo= nd the scope of this Bugzilla.) Thanks --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
