Advocacy != news. Think more of terms of the following types of questions: - Why should I choose FreeBSD over ABC? - Where can I find brochures to distribute at this conference I'm going to? - Why should my boss choose FreeBSD instead of ABC? - I've been using the XYZ distro for years. How is FreeBSD different from that? I think the main goal of an advocacy site is to make advocacy easier for those that wish to get the word out. We have lots of people who are very enthusiastic about FreeBSD. What they need is information to help them inform others about FreeBSD. They are your target market. -- Dan Langille : http://www.langille.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
