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. -- $Id: CounterPageAnnounce.txt,v 1.3 2001/07/04 07:50:32 jgrosch Exp $ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
