Hi everyone,

For those of you who feel that a BSD certification may help in the promotion 
and usage of FreeBSD, I'd like to give a thumbs up that the BSD Certification
Group Inc. has announced their first campaign to raise the startup costs 
required to produce the upcoming BSDA examination. While $35,000 is a lot 
of money to raise, every little bit helps and every donation is much 
appreciated.

If you haven't seen the press release yet on your favourite BSD forum or
mailing list, feel free to post it yourself. A copy can be found at:

http://www.bsdcertification.org/index.php?NAV=News&Item=pr024

If you know any companies who may be interested, there is a downloadable
Sponsorship Fact Sheet which explains the startup costs:

http://www.bsdcertification.org/index.php?NAV=Donate

Any questions regarding the campaign, feel free to email me off-list.

Dru
