Maybe we can do the web based magazine type publish AND do our PR at the
same time? Combine them both. Have feature articles for insatance from
FreeBSD consultants like myself, who can write about how their using
FreeBSD in their clients companies. The problems of offering a Free based
solution, etc.. I'd do articles on that. And we can publish PR reports at
the same time. Thats one possible idea.
