No, I don't mean what you think. I'd just like to float a trial balloon.
Infoworld just had a big lead article about how the server choice is
disappearing now that the proprietary UNIX world is being drowned by
cheap NT boxes.
I would like to see if anyone is interested in joining together to take
out a large ad in Infoworld to promote FreeBSD. I myself would
contribute $100 cash to the effort, and I think if each of you consider
the benefit to our code base if even one percent of the Micros**t
sysadmin world considers switching and 1% of them actually contributes.
FreeBSD (and the rest of the freeware base) would benefit enormously
[although we might need to clone Doug and Greg and Amancio and probably
a few others :)]
-------------------------------------
| FreeBSD... the Power to Serve! |
| |
| If even one percent of the M$ |
| NT server users switch to free |
| software like FreeBSD, XFree86 |
| Apache and GNU tools, and only |
| one percent actually contributes |
| code to the collection, free |
| software will overtake proprie- |
| tary solutions so fast the |
| future will regard Microsoft |
| and other obnoxious software |
| licensers as an evolutionary |
| dead end on the way to truly |
| open computing. |

Any takers?
