We have switched to FreeBSD from Linux to make the next version of the Tomahawk Desktop operating system. That is, the core of the Tomahawk Desktop is now based on FreeBSD 7.1 and expect to release the Tomahawk Desktop version 2.0 Beta by Q2 2009. Tomahawk Desktop is free for personal use. Our ultimate goal is to make a professional grade desktop operating system which is second to none. We intend to closely collaborate with the FreeBSD project, recruit FreeBSD developers and sponsor FreeBSD Foundation Projects. Please see our website, please give your feedback and appreciate if you guys could become fans of our corporate website on Facebook. Thank you.

This is really very cool. Is there a service, wherein one can post a single update (twitter size) and it sort of goes to . orkut BSD . twitter BSD . facebook BSD . upcoming.yahoo BSD . google calendar BSD . ning BSD . blogspot BSD . identi.ca BSD . digg BSD . etc . forum BSD With this approach there will be a consistent message seen across the various web touch points.

Sure, you can go to twitterfeed and you will give it the twitter password for the @bsdevents account and the RSS feed location for our events page. (Sorry, there is no strong authentication framework for twitter -- all these tools force you to share your twitter password with them). Then twitterfeed will automatically post a 140 character summary of new entries in the RSS feed to the @bsdevents twitter stream. You can also still login and post other events to the @bsdevents stream (say, reminders, follow up information, or information for events for other bsd's besides freebsd). > Agreed and I'm open to ideas about how to best coordinate this and to filter > the non-FreeBSD specific events with minimal effort so that the FreeBSD > website is aware of events with a FreeBSD talk or booth.
