Oh, come now.  You can't tell me that BSDi doesn't have a stack of
them around the office.  :)

Seriously, there is a major opening for BSD authors right now.  I have
more requests for articles than I can possibly fill.  The only
limitation on BSD press is *us*.  Heck, I could probably have been a
-doc committer by now if I hadn't been churning out articles.

If you want BSD to be a buzzword, then make some buzz.  There's
editors out there willing -- nay, eager -- to help.
