See: http://www.freebsd.org/advocacy/ We give someone a commit bit to work on advocacy. They take the free commit bit, but never contribute. This has been repeated until we're sick of it. Now, we do it the other way. Actually build something useful, and we'll suck you right in and call you "official". Submit PRs to update the advocacy page, and we'll suck you right in. Submit PRs to update the news page, and we'll suck you right in. Heck, I will mentor anyone who actually produces PRs in ample number *and quality* to rate it. Flooding us with junk PRs doesn't count, believe me, it's been tried. :-) The T&C's on this offer are available at: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=34139+0+archive/2002/freebsd-advocacy/20020915.freebsd-advocacy While I specifically mention "In the Press," I'm willing to mentor anyone who works on advocacy in general and produces actual work in a manner that it can be integrated with http://www.FreeBSD.org. ==ml On Sun, Jan 26, 2003 at 09:56:51PM +0100, Josef El-Rayes wrote: > > Stacy Olivas and I decided that it would be a good thing to set > > up a site to handle PR > (...) > > I'm looking for people willing to act as back-up DNS, mail exchanger and WWW > > servers. > (...) > > i was just wondering why this is not getting "officially" hosted by the project itself (something like publicrelations.freebsd.org) as their is already the infrastructure available. > > greets, josef > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message -- Michael Lucas mwlucas@FreeBSD.org, mwlucas@BlackHelicopters.org http://www.BlackHelicopters.org/~mwlucas/ Absolute BSD: http://www.AbsoluteBSD.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
