Hello, Here are some of my ideas about promoting FreeBSD. 1) Create an online magazine dedicated to FreeBSD. This magazine will a) Feature articles on how FreeBSD is being used in commercial organizations. b) Provide a how to section to help beginners and more advanced users get the most out of FreeBSD. c) Cover topics of interest to the FreeBSD community. Although I can't take on such a project by myself, my company can provide the hosting and Web site maintenance for such a magazine. I can also write a few articles as well, but my time is limited. 2) Over the last year we have had opportunities to promote FreeBSD to our clients, but many of them are scared due to the lack of a GUI to administer users and the system. We should consider creating GUI tools to manipulate the underlying text files and allow people to configure the systems using these tools. It can be as simple as a Web interface or an executable running on the system. Ideally I would like to get some tools similar to those found on NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP.
