That said... Brett, I've followed this list for a while now and I've seen you write quite abit about the theory behind effective marketing. I've also seen you write quite abit about what's wrong with the current strategy. What I have not seen however, is what you think should be done to correct the current situation? I don't want another discussion about memes, I want to know exactly what it is that you think we as advocates should be doing to promote the project. My apologies if this has been brought up before, I've not seen it. Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
