The DTP / marketing information pieces that you guys have been talking 
about are excellent ideas, as is freebsd.com.

There's room for all of it.

In fact, this logo / mascot / religion* / professional / business thing 
has brought out a lot of good discussion in the past couple of days.* 
That leaked announcement might be the best thing that's happened for 
freebsd-advocacy@ in a long time. (Certainly, those who are working on 
that announcement have gotten the editorial feedback they need to make a 
final draft for the public!)

(* except for the religion-bashing from some and the responses to that 
from others, both of which seem entirely beside the point and 
unconstructive. OTOH, it _was_ the first rationale in the leaked 
announcement. And human beings can never fully put aside their own 
beliefs / "religion" in any situation, nor should they, which makes it 
necessary to be patient with one another).
