hi! i started php coding for a (free)bsd eventssite yesterday, but i fear it will take me until the end of the next week before i can show you the first version because its semester's end at university and i have some exams to pass. my idea is to have a frontpage like freshmeat or slashdot for an overview of big events, like bsdcon and a tablestyle overview which is sortable by country, date and name for all entries including a detail page for every event telling you about location, entry fee, website and overview and details like that. i am not sure if there's a need for a forum - i am also thinking about a mailinglist which automatically posts additions to the database. tell me what you think about my ideas. today i had a look at the new issues of c't and iX (biggest german computer tech magazines) and there is _no_ mentioning of freebsd 5 at all. shall i send them our press release by fax? does anyone have relations to heise( publisher of these magazines)? i found it funny that they had new mysql version as their headliner but no word about freebsd. another thing that i am wondering about is how do i get material for a freebsd booth. there is an opensource event in every major city in austria between mai and june called linuxweeks (www.linuxwochen.at) i had a talk with one of the "managers" and they would also like to see a freebsd booth. i think it would be nice to sell some of the freebsd 5.x isos, shirts and have some material/handouts for the visitors. greets, josef To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
