This reminds me. I have offered to co-author for any developers who want to write an article for Dr. Dobb's (or other magazines). I will send a query letter (to the magazine) and help write the article. If anyone wants to write an article but don't know where or how to start, please let me know. There are many new features/techniques in FreeBSD (and other *BSDs) that would be interesting to Dr. Dobb's or other magazines. If you are working on something and want to write (or help write) about it, let me know. Even if you don't want to write, I can interview you to develop the articles. (And I am sure there are other members of the marketing AT FreeBSD.org that would be willing to help too.) Feel free to forward this email. Jeremy C. Reed
