I sent out a message about a FreeBSD consortium the other day. It was eaten in the great mailing list lossage; I don't know if anyone saw it or not. My point was (as it was the last time we discussed this) that when I put together proposals that feature FreeBSD then a consortium lends more credibility. You have more elaborate plans (but that is to be expected...), and you want a new entity independent of FreeBSD and NetBSD, something I suspect will muddy the waters even more. (Terry's good ideas deleted. I'll add the all important four color brochure presenting the goals of the organization and listing the members, which is what I could really use right now) > To keep the ball rolling, I could probably come up with $500 as well > (but I'd want a T-shirt or a cloisoine Daemon pin and a nice "charter > member" certificate or something). 8-). $500 here also if we can agree on the charter for the organization. -- Peter Dufault Real Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.
