Another idea just popped into my head. I know that actually writing published print isn't easy and costs alot of money...why not try doing a "FreeBSD Online Magazine" or "FreeBSD Journal". Something like that, but the name really doesn't matter. It's the content that counts. Okay okay...we all have read computer magazines and know how they generally work. We write articles on software, give advice on system maintenance, and talk about current events and new products. Of course...just like the other guys...we can have a "FreeBSD means Business" section that talks about how FreeBSD can be used in the real corporate world as an inexpensive powerfull OS. Revenue can be made by offering advertisement in the form of banners....but I guess you all could have guessed that right? Anyways...I know a bit of html and cgi...just a bit though. Although, I'd be willing to learn more if this can get off the ground. Of couse it should be run on a FreeBSD server, because it would be completely stupid if we try to promote a server OS yet run the website off another OS. Right? I guess we need someone to donate some webspace or something. Any ideas on a name for the site? www.freebsd-online.com? What if instead of just FreeBSD, we create a website for all BSD derivative OS's? That's another idea that just popped into my head right now. heh :) I think it would be kewl so that we all can get working together. I mean "all" as in all the BSD community...no matter if you run OpenBSD or NetBSD or BSDi. We can create a universal BSD community. It will be up to the users choice to decide if they want to use FreeBSD, OpenBSD, or NetBSD. Maybe and alliance between the BSD communities can be achived to create such a project. What do you think?
