Just to let you know,
There are people within .gov who do promote Freebsd, and are just as tired
of MS as everyone else. (Note my email address.) I would like to see some
regulations that would require .govs to evaluate open source alternatives
before commercial products. I'm afraid that this would have to come from
the top down, and since the gov is a servant of the people, the people
will have to lobby gov to initiate this kind of thing.
Good luck.

Subject: Is there a .org lobbying to "all" governments for FBSD?
I am interested in developing a not for profit to
lobby the governments to implement FreeBSD in lieu of
the Microsoft Cabal.
Is there any such organization,
if not who may I contact to develop a connection with
FreeBSD, Linux, and the open-source community?
