This sounds like a more than reasonable achievement, folks - don't beat yourselves up! The fact that there was a tangible presence there at all is what should be applauded, especially once you do your homework a little and calculate just how many shows go by where there's little or no presence at all. It sounds like you've shown the Linux people who attended that the BSDs are still alive and kicking, and from such small seeds often grow many interesting things. :) > alamagamation of core team members names (or maybe we should just use > "Hubbix" (Jordan?)) as the OS name.

Eric has always predicted the falling of the BSD sky and I don't see how this latest commentary is inconsistent in any way with his previous positions. We can only but prove his pessimism to be misplaced by stubbornly refusing to sink. :) > He said that he thinks we *are* growing, and doing just fine.

That would be great, have them drop us a line. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
