FWIW, I asked around in the open source OS community for donations for YAPC (yet another Perl conference) last month. I've given away FreeBSD CDs at conferences before, and they tend to be quite well received. I asked the NetBSD project, who never returned my email. I asked the OpenBSD project, and Theo graciously donated 10 copies of OpenBSD 2.5. These were given away as quiz prizes. I asked the Debian Project, and Wichert donated 10 copies left over from the USENIX pressing. These were given away as quiz prizes. I asked Jordan, and the FreeBSD project donated 300 copies of 3.1. :-) These were given away to every attendee, except for the honest ones who said that they had no [interest in] Intel hardware, were already running 3.2, or already had subscriptions. One reason why FreeBSD CDs can be given away is because Jordan makes it so easy. Thanks, Jordan. Evangelizing FreeBSD would be much more difficult without you. -- Adam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
