Great! Maybe once you know more about those features, you'll see how they can benefit you and others. Your point of view could be handy in how you write it up - many people who are not techies would probably benefit more from a non-techy point of view.

The following paragraph justifies this as a press announcement: It took Microsoft about two years to switch Hotmail from FreeBSD to Windows without completely disrupting the service. During this time, Amazon, Google (news - external web site), Slashdot and many other high-traffic sites continued to enjoy amazing uptime with Linux. Yahoo!, probably the busiest site on the Web, enjoys the same kind of uptime with FreeBSD -- and has for years.

I'd rather not do this alone. If you're going to be in or near Michigan on May 2-4, drop me a line. While we have to pay the $35 admission, we get free booth space, panels to push our wares, etc. Manning a booth at a conference isn't my favorite way to spent a weekend, but if we can split it up amongst several people it will be easier. Since the Michigan BSD community is so small, I'm also going to be inviting NetBSD and OpenBSD people. We all got along well enough at the abortive SeMIBug, so why not? And, if you have freebies you'd like to give out, let me know. The conference facilities can handle 1200 people. Yes, this is early. But you can't say you didn't have notice... ==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 From owner-freebsd-advocacy Fri Nov 15 5: 6: 6 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6934D37B401; Fri, 15 Nov 2002 05:06:05 -0800 (PST) Received: from mailsrv.otenet.gr (mailsrv.otenet.gr [195.170.0.5]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 610A643E6E; Fri, 15 Nov 2002 05:06:04 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from keramida@freebsd.org) Received: from gothmog.gr (patr530-b195.otenet.gr [212.205.244.203]) by mailsrv.otenet.gr (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id gAFD5jer021207; Fri, 15 Nov 2002 15:05:49 +0200 (EET) Received: from gothmog.gr (gothmog [127.0.0.1]) by gothmog.gr (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id gAFD4ehF022167; Fri, 15 Nov 2002 15:04:41 +0200 (EET) (envelope-from keramida@freebsd.org) Received: (from keramida@localhost) by gothmog.gr (8.12.6/8.12.6/Submit) id gAFCUBSX012841; Fri, 15 Nov 2002 14:30:11 +0200 (EET) (envelope-from keramida@freebsd.org) Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2002 14:30:10 +0200 From: Giorgos Keramidas To: Tom Rhodes Cc: GB Clark , advocacy@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Article mentions freebsd in good light Message-ID: <20021115123010.GA576@gothmog.gr> References: <20021113145941.50b69948.gclarkii@vsservices.com> <20021113193933.4e1e5a45.trhodes@FreeBSD.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; x-action=pgp-signed Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <20021113193933.4e1e5a45.trhodes@FreeBSD.org> Sender: owner-freebsd-advocacy@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On 2002-11-13 14:59, GB Clark wrote: > The following article mentions FreeBSD in passing (as Yahoo's OS). > > http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&ncid=1209&e=2&cid=75&u=/nf/20021113/tc_nf/19958 On 2002-11-13 19:39, Tom Rhodes wrote: > > The following paragraph justifies this as a press announcement: > > It took Microsoft about two years to switch Hotmail from FreeBSD to > Windows without completely disrupting the service.

It's the next escalation in the computer security arms race, and we've been expecting it. Unfortunately, security is a journey, not a destination. This really isn't purely a "FreeBSD thing" or an "Open Source thing": Microsoft is facing the same attacks, if Windows ever becomes harder to attack directly. As more and more companies are switching from Microsoft operating systems to FreeBSD and other Open Source alternatives, hackers are finding it more and more difficult to attack them directly. Once you can't attack an operating system like FreeBSD directly, you have to attack it indirectly; this is most easily done by attacking the applications it runs, instead. If Microsoft Windows wasn't so easy to break into, you would see the same thing happening to Windows applications. Keep in mind that what they have really compromised in not FreeBSD, or even the Open Source application -- in this case tcpdump -- but the servers and software that delivers the application to the users. This is a classic "man in the middle" attack. Now that Microsoft has moved to a subscription service, where you pay for the same software over and over, and give Microsoft total access to your computer to update or modify the data on it, they are vulnerable to these kinds of attacks, as well as attacks on the middleman they use to access your computer. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-advocacy Fri Nov 15 21: 8:28 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3568A37B401; Fri, 15 Nov 2002 21:08:27 -0800 (PST) Received: from HAL9000.homeunix.com (12-232-220-15.client.attbi.com [12.232.220.15]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 85F3343E77; Fri, 15 Nov 2002 21:08:26 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dschultz@uclink.Berkeley.EDU) Received: from HAL9000.homeunix.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by HAL9000.homeunix.com (8.12.6/8.12.5) with ESMTP id gAG58P2q016734; Fri, 15 Nov 2002 21:08:25 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dschultz@uclink.Berkeley.EDU) Received: (from das@localhost) by HAL9000.homeunix.com (8.12.6/8.12.5/Submit) id gAG58LXP016731; Fri, 15 Nov 2002 21:08:21 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dschultz@uclink.Berkeley.EDU) Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2002 21:08:21 -0800 From: David Schultz To: Luis Neves Cc: advocacy@FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: FreeBSD 5.0 CD cover Message-ID: <20021116050821.GA16666@HAL9000.homeunix.com> Mail-Followup-To: Luis Neves , advocacy@FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG References: <200211151903.08336.lneves@netcabo.pt> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <200211151903.08336.lneves@netcabo.pt> Sender: owner-freebsd-advocacy@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Thus spake Luis Neves : > Last month I came across some cool Chuck images in a FreeBSD korean site: > > > So I borrowed on of the images and asked a designer friend of mine to make a > CD Cover for the upcoming 5.0 release.
