Right now its REALLY rough (definitly incomplete, possibly wrong, certain to have errors, etc...). Anyway, in it I try to get across some of the points that I feel should be exemplified by *BSD advocates (and others to, but I don't care as much there :). Basically a set of guidelines for new advocates so that they can have some direction. Rev 0.01 was written on a slightly different focus, but as it expands I hope to make it something usefull. Rev 0.01 is online at: http://bsd.phoenix.az.us/advocate/ If anyone has points to add, send em, if anyone has criticisms to make... well I'm sure you will :) Jordan Hubbard said: > > I guess I have to repeat this like a broken record since people just > don't get it, it seems, but you win converts by explaining why you > chose the BSD license and BSD technology, not by calling the other > side a bunch of morons for making the choices they did. >-=-=-=-=-=-=-<>-=-=-=-=-=-<>-=-=-=-=-=-<>-=-=-=-=-=-<>-=-=-=-=-=-=-< Ryan Mooney Phone (602)265-9188 PCSLink ryan@pcslink.com Internet Services NT is an excellent choice for managers who need to show that they used up their fiscal year budget for hardware/software expenditures. <-=-=-=-=-=-=-><-=-=-=-=-=-><-=-=-=-=-=-><-=-=-=-=-=-><-=-=-=-=-=-=-> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
