*BSD Counter Project
http://www.bsdcounter.org
http://www.bsd-counter.org
The *BSD Counter project have put up the first public beta of its counter
page. The Counter project is an attempt to gauge the installed base of
*BSD. We current do not have a very good idea as to what is our installed
base, how *BSD is being used and by whom. Because of this, *BSD is at a
disadvantage when talking to ISVs and hardware and software vendors.
You are invited to register with the counter project. The counter page can
be found at :
http://www.bsdcounter.org
Couple of caveats:
* Your information is held to be confidential. Only those on the
project, and the various BSD core group will ever see this
information. It will _NOT_ be handed over to spammers, direct
marketers, and any of the other assorted bozos.
* Suggestions and comments are welcome!
* The database behind this page was built from the email registrations
sent to Walnut Creek. If you registered at the time of an install
chances are you are in this database.
* This site is an on-going project. Not everything is working. We are
working very hard finish this project so please be patient.
* Currently the "Register Yourself" page is working. The "Correct Your
Entry" is currently broken but it should be fixed by the next time
this notice comes out. Don't bother with the "Register a Machine"
page. We are still working on the database layout of that.
* We welcome the opportunity to work with the principles / leaders /
dictators-for-life of the various BSD groups. Please feel free to
contact us. We are working on a standard API to integrate your
registration efforts with ours.
* If you need to contact us, send email to jgrosch@mooseriver.com
This notice is posted twice a month, on the 1st and the 15th of the month.
