I just finished writing one for Performance Computing and have been, with the possible exception of Brett (who appears to do just fine when he's banging a kettle in print rather than in email :), one of the only people still trying to keep FreeBSD mentioned occasionally in the american trade press. That sucks. I don't even like writing articles. :) The Japanese folks are still doing great things, of course, and the Germans appear to be catching up with more articles in C't and other related magazines from what I've been seeing lately. So where the heck are all the ENGLISH SPEAKING writers, folks?! :-) C'mon, just 1500 words or so for your favorite online computer mag (or even one that's not your favorite) and you'll be getting us up into the same viewspace that Linux is currently occupying. For extra bonus points, go for the print media. Just get the word out! > Daemon News is a step in the right direction, but only a step.
