Well, those are the aims of the FreeBSD advocacy people, so I'm following up there. There's quite a bit of advocacy going on already; the best I can recommend is for you to publish an article in a magazine or newspaper. If you don't have anything suitable, consider what's published in Daemon News and ask the author if you can translate it. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
