There's a press release waiting to be written here guys. C-Forge is an IDE for C, C++, Java, SGML, Perl, and many other languages. There's been a Linux version out for a while (which didn't work under FreeBSD's emulation) and now they've ported it to FreeBSD. Yay. There's a free version (limited to C/C++ only) and an evaluation version, which has support for all the languages, but will only run for 30 days. So, what we have here is a Linux software vendor willingly porting their product to FreeBSD. There's got to be some mileage of the "FreeBSD user base growing significantly" kind to be had from this, as well as possibly a "Development on FreeBSD now even easier", and perhaps even a "FreeBSD solves development headaches for C-Forge developers -- much easier to track than Linux" co-release in conjunction with CodeForge. So, who fancies writing a press release? I notice there was a slew of people volunteering to help with advocacy recently, so this should be easy to fill. Your contact at Code Forge is Yuri Mironoff <yuri@codeforge.com>. N -- [intentional self-reference] can be easily accommodated using a blessed, non-self-referential dummy head-node whose own object destructor severs the links. -- Tom Christiansen in <375143b5@cs.colorado.edu> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
