I like the former suggestion, BSD Week. "Advocate" conjures up visions of rabid Linux fans picketing Fry's. ;^) "Informer" sounds too much like a guy in a trenchcoat dropping off microfilm of the newest release. ;^) "Daemon's Advocate" would be a great name for a recurring, back-of-the- website column. ;^) You know, a nice place to bitch about how stupid the world of advertising is, show off the author's knowlege of whatever language it's currently being written in, etc. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
