Amen! Please, everyone. When you have an idea, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem. GO FOR IT. We must. We MUST! I'm in the process of drawing up some signs and banners to put in out reception area at the office. I'm ordering some CDs from Walnut Creek to have right there for all those who walk in our door and ask "What on earth is THAT?!". Well, my friends. Say hello to the Daemon. :) Even the little things help. Even if it's a FreeBSD poster you put on your office wall, or a sticker on your car, or whatever you can think of. Write an article. Talk to your local news stations! Go have a chat with your friendly neighborhood computer book store. Run an ad in your local paper. School paper. University free classified ads. Start a users group. I should have dressed as a daemon for Halloween..... EVERY BIT HELPS. Do it. Do it. Do it! Later...... ps: Sorry, Nike. :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
