Greetings Multimedia Masters, I have a gentleman here who would be interested in finding someone to port his 3D rendering library to FreeBSD. I haven't examined the project too carefully so I don't know how solid it is. Would it be possible for _someone_ at multimedia@freebsd.org to reply to him? He seems like a nice guy. -----Forwarded message from Emmanuel Marty <core@suntech.fr>----- Date: Fri, 30 Oct 1998 16:09:48 +0100 From: Emmanuel Marty <core@suntech.fr> To: webmaster@freebsdmall.com Subject: Nice work :) Hi Christopher, [...] I just had a look at your FreeBSD mall. I am a daily and currently exclusive Linux user both at home and work (most of our servers run it, the others run BUGGIRIX and Slowaris) but somehow your site makes me want to give FreeBSD a try much more than the "official" open/free/netBSD sites, probably because you display user rather than developer experience.. Such sites have been existing for linux for years and I'm glad that it exists for the free implementations of *BSD OSes now too. If you want another example, ISDnet, our primary upstream, is an internet backbone present everywhere in France (25 cities; we host them here) with private links to the USA and very good peerings to most places. Yet most of it is managed by two people and they use FreeBSD.. Apparently because it's less of a 'moving target' than Linux (ie. the kernel doesn't break every other day when an upgrade is released) and they can spend their time administering rather than recompiling their system. So I've got a couple of questions for you: [...] * I am one of the main developers of the GGI project (http://www.ggi-project.org) ; several people of our team approached FreeBSD developers but we never got a sensible feedback.. The question was: do FreeBSD developers think it'd be useful, and if yes, help us to port it ? (currently it runs on top of the linux kernel) That's all.. Congratulations for your very nice site. -- Emmanuel -----End of forwarded message----- -- Christopher G.
