Except for a No, we're just software engineers who like this particular technology a lot, many of us using it in our paid real-life work. Some of us also work on it because they enjoy the work of producing an entire operating system as a hobby, something to augment a day job's more mundane hacking duties. > rare few times in my life, having to make a living has almost always been > in the way of total immersion and development of software that can be a > tool for creativeness and knowledge. I would like to know more please. Well, what you see at http://www.freebsd.org is pretty much all we have which describes us. If you peruse through the "what is" document and the handbook, especially the appendix sections (engineers wrote this stuff, so all the really good info is in the appendicies :), you'll actually find out a fair bit about us. Reading the release notes for our various releases at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ also provides good information on what it is we're up to. Regards, Jordan
