If you check the archives, you'll see that we had developed a list of things to do, including case studies, comparison charts, and so on. Unfortunately my wife relapsed, so I ran out of time to push this. Someone could go in the archives, dig up that to-do list, clean it up, and post it. To-do-list item #1: Someone needs to take ownership of the to-do list, even on a temporary basis. Post it regularly. Become the advocacy coordinator. You do not need a commit bit to do this, just willingness and a few hours a week. Lots of people want to know what they can do to help; answer them! If anyone actually *needs* a committer, I'll commit. But a commit bit is not necessary for this work. (And see the archives for my offer of a commit bit, which still stands.) > If anyone is interested in helping out, please let me, Arjan or > Michael Lucas know or just post to > -advocacy. Keep watching -advocacy for related posts. Actually, I'd say talk on the mailing list. Right here. When discussion is public, people join in. They get excited. They help. Advocacy is public. Be public. (Also, I'm a bottleneck, even if Joe and Arjan are not. :-) ==ml -- Michael Lucas mwlucas@FreeBSD.org, mwlucas@BlackHelicopters.org http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/q/Big_Scary_Daemons Absolute BSD: http://www.AbsoluteBSD.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
