Devon, can you post the requirements or guidelines that you and Murray had come up with when we discussed this last? I remember that there were a few requirements involved regarding programming languages or something. my work has already approved the idea although I'm not promising much for the 1U server ;) I used to hate the redhat site, but it looks like they revamped it since I looked last and it's much nicer and easier to navigate now. maybe Yahoo or Juniper will let us use their corporate logo for a "Juniper relies on FreeBSD' type image. I'll ask them. or an animated gif cycling through big corporate users. oh wait, now I'm giving away my design ideas! lol. I'll enter (even though my website design skillz aren't too great) but anybody from my company will, of course, be exempt from the contest :P so, the goal for this will not be for internal freebsd user use (although that's not out of the question, I'd think) but more for a professional advocacy site, right? something appropriate to sell or show off to middle/upper management exec types.
