Thanks for the pics, Rodrigo! -matt From melanie.vonfange at gmail.com Thu Mar 5 17:53:10 2009 From: melanie.vonfange at gmail.com (Melanie Vonfange) Date: Thu Mar 5 17:53:16 2009 Subject: Announcing Several Advocacy Sites Message-ID: <9df43a1e0903051720l68c9c3e2gba2871efe2345f92@mail.gmail.com> Hi, I am Melanie VonFange, long time lurker and fan of FreeBSD and PC-BSD.? I have been around for about a year on various forums and mailing lists learning all I can about FreeBSD and PC-BSD.? I imagine I met quite a few of you at? MeetBSDCalifornia '08. *waves*.? One of the things that really excited me was putting a face with a name. The BSD community at large is extremely friendly and open and I was happy to be able to sit in on the talks and meet everyone. I am pleased to have been given the opportunity to help out with a few advocacy sites and I hope to share some of my excitement here.? One of our main goals is to break down the market barriers for BSD adoption and I feel we have a few ways to do that now.? People WANT to do something different.? They feel that they are limited to either Windows or Linux or Mac OS X.? A few people have heard of Unbuntu, but your average everyday user feels that they have no choice in what Operating System they use.? I think we all want to change that. One barrier is name recognition. We need get the name out there. One way we have to do that is SpreadBSD.org (http://www.SpreadBSD.org), an affiliate site designed and to spread the message of FreeBSD and PC-BSD via message boards,blogs,forums and other social networking platforms. SpreadBSD will be a place to collect advocacy information as well. This should help by having a central repository of information to educate and influence executive and IT management. There is even a karma points system. Currently we are looking for articles and and appreciate any suggestions you might have as to how we can make it better. A second barrier is helping non-tech people understand what FreeBSD and PC-BSD are. My own biggest barrier was finding the information about installation, known hardware issues, whether it would work with my computer etc, all in a central location. I spent alot of time googling, fearing the install, and trying to figure out things on my own.? I am one of the lucky people that has friends who are behind FreeBSD and PC-BSD. Not everyone is so lucky. I set up a social networking group called PC-BSD Users on the ning.com social networking site (http://pcbsdusers.ning.com/) I added some videos about installing and I plan on adding more user-friendly tutorials and make it more of a community site. I would be happy to add any suggestions you might have and invite you all to join me. A huge third barrier is application and driver support. We need to have more, obviously. Time is also a valuable commodity. We are also limited by proprietary drivers and programs.SponsorBSD Projects (http//:www.sponsorBSD.org) gives people the opportunity to network and connect sponsors with developers. Right now, the site needs a little bit of TLC (mainly in the form of coders and designers) and test sponsors and developers. I know that setting time to work on things is a bit difficult and this is a centralized way rather than having to dig around postings and not being sure where to put advertisements for development.We also plan on adding a developer wish list and development teams will be able to split the bounty automatically. This is truly exciting time, and I hope we all work together to get the name out there. If you want to volunteer for any of these projects or have any suggestions, please feel free to email me. We have a great OS, and it just needs more people to know about it!?

These positions are for a two year term starting at the end of the election process. Nominees can be anyone from the general BSD community as well as any interested organization or company. The board of directors will be expanded to five members with Dru Lavigne and Jim Brown continuing their terms until 2010. Responsibilities may include participating in monthly meetings and helping set the direction of the BSD Certification Group. Nominations may be emailed to nominations@bsdcertification.org until April 3, 2009. Please consider carbon copying the person being nominated on the email. The non-voting chair, Phil Nelson from the NetBSD community, will acknowledge receipt of each nomination and confirm the nominees. The names of the confirmed nominees along with the number of nominations received by each will be published by mid April. The eligible BSDCG members will hold an internal vote and the public announcement of the new Directors should be announced by mid May, 2009. For more details, the BSDCG bylaws are available at http://www.bsdcertification.org/BSDCG/bylaws.html . About the BSD Certification Group The BSD Certification Group (BSDCG) is a non-profit organization committed to creating and maintaining a global certification standard for system administration on BSD-based operating systems. The BSDCG works with the BSD and sysadmin communities in order to provide a practical and relevant certification. The BSD Certification Group was founded in February 2005. Details about the group and the BSDA certification are available via http://www.bsdcertification.org. -- Phil Nelson (phil at cs.wwu.edu) http://www.cs.wwu.edu/nelson -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

This is really very cool. Is there a service, wherein one can post a single update (twitter size) and it sort of goes to . orkut BSD . twitter BSD . facebook BSD . upcoming.yahoo BSD . google calendar BSD . ning BSD . blogspot BSD . identi.ca BSD . digg BSD . etc . forum BSD With this approach there will be a consistent message seen across the various web touch points.

Sure, you can go to twitterfeed and you will give it the twitter password for the @bsdevents account and the RSS feed location for our events page. (Sorry, there is no strong authentication framework for twitter -- all these tools force you to share your twitter password with them). Then twitterfeed will automatically post a 140 character summary of new entries in the RSS feed to the @bsdevents twitter stream. You can also still login and post other events to the @bsdevents stream (say, reminders, follow up information, or information for events for other bsd's besides freebsd). > Agreed and I'm open to ideas about how to best coordinate this and to filter > the non-FreeBSD specific events with minimal effort so that the FreeBSD > website is aware of events with a FreeBSD talk or booth.

There is a firefox add-on that i have been looking at. It is https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1833 called Yonoo, which is basically a way to collate many of the social networking sites on your browser. Quoted from the application page: "Yoono simplifies your social life on the web by centralizing all your social networks and instant messaging in one easy to use browser sidebar. Get all your friend updates automatically wherever you are on the web and update your status instantly across Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and more. Yoono also shows you personalized recommendations for related websites, products, videos, and more based on the page you are viewing. Easily share these discoveries with your friends via your social networks" It might be something to thing about. -- Melanie VonFange PC-BSD Project BSD Advocate Melanie@pcbsd.org From ben.hengst at gmail.com Sun Mar 15 13:09:29 2009 From: ben.hengst at gmail.com (benh) Date: Sun Mar 15 13:09:36 2009 Subject: Can't seem to find any usergroup activity in Portland OR? Message-ID: <85ddf48b0903151242r28ddaa1bre0bd4fdf7bd30b61@mail.gmail.com> So I've looked at the usergroup page and see a mailing list, but it seems that's dead. Is any one still getting together? is there a *bsd/*nix group that I've missed? Any info would be greatly appreciated. -- benh~ http://three.sentenc.es/ From dan at langille.org Mon Mar 16 17:22:04 2009 From: dan at langille.org (Dan Langille) Date: Mon Mar 16 17:22:12 2009 Subject: BSDCan 2009 preliminary schedule Message-ID: <49BEED1F.2050109@langille.org> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The preliminary BSDCan 2009 schedule has been released. see http://www.bsdcan.org/2009/schedule/ Please start making your travel plans now.
