> Where do I sign up? > "FreeBSD Marketing: Who Do You Want To Picket And Beat To Death With Stats > Today?" Heh, you joke, but Mike Smith and I were kicking ourselves today thinking "DAMN! After that big Linux user's group meeting, a big bus went up to the Mozilla party several times with busloads of Linux advocates and what a wasted opportunity! We could have had a guy in a Chuck costume standing there, handing out FreeBSD CDs (along with a little pamphlet describing how a Linux user might evaluate and possibly transition to FreeBSD) to each person getting off the bus. Damn damn damn! We suck at marketing!" Our comments were half in jest, but little PR stunts like this, done in the proper humor, are seriously worth doing if you can pull them off. It'd also be kinda nice if we pulled one off occasionally rather than just thinking about it afterwards, and for that we need better advance notification and planning when such opportunities present themselves. Should any of you spot such an opportunity and need some help in making it happen, let us know!
