Our online presense is growing, but our physical presense needs to make itself known. We must have FreeBSD sold anywhere you can go out and buy Linux... We need to show up at linux user groups. We need to show up at NT user groups. We need to write books for the average window user so they can run FreeBSD, too. Of course, before we attack the NT market, we also need to make FreeBSD easier for the average newbie.
