Wasn't that the same reason<problems with the "core"> Theo spun off from their project oh so long ago. Notice how they forgot to even mention "OpenBSD has Theo". I am on a few of the other *BSD lists. If I had to make a quick judgement on which advocacy group has it act together the most its ours. OpenBSD advocacy is about where we were last summer or so when started choosing the "Power to Serve" slogan. NetBSD needs a little bit of work in their advocacy. It must be a bummer to have a good product but not have a good team to help advocate or keep the "core" together. I guess that "posting" is a compliment to all involved with FreeBSD, from Jordan on down. Another funny one I think was posted on the OpenBSD list involved daemon news. I think they complained that it was too FreeBSD centric. Hmmmm..... lets see..... it started on the FreeBSD Advocacy list and we incorporated the other BSD groups. And nothing prevents any of them from submitting numerous articles to d-news.Then a short time later FreeBSD had its own 'zine. Everybody got what they wanted. IMHO..maybe Open/NetBSDers should subscribe to our advocacy list and learn a little. I don't mean that as a negative or omnipotent comment either. What helps us should help them and vice versa. Its also possible that it is easier for us to get great ideas into action because of our iuser base as compared to theirs. Do we have a number of users compared to Open/NetBSD users? -cliff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
