I didn't think of it at the time but case studies don't have to specifically mention FreeBSD. If the study is platform neutral then a link can still be made between what method was used and the ability to use that method on FreeBSD. For instance, a Perl success story about a particular solution and knowledge that Perl runs on FreeBSD will reinforce the notion that FreeBSD can be part of the solution. I'm just trying to enlarge the pool of Advocacy material that could be used.
