Should the FreeBSD community endeavor to get some free advertising for 
Scala at Stack Overflow, as described 
athttp://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/12/free-vote-based-advertising-for-open-source-projects/ 
<http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/12/free-vote-based-advertising-for-open-source-projects/>? 


The required work consists of little more than producing a 220x220 Scala 
advertising image and posting it at the proper (time-wise) thread tagged 
open-source-advertising on meta.stackoverflow.com 
<http://meta.stackoverflow.com>(http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/open-source-advertising 
<http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/open-source-advertising>). 
The exact details can be found in that post 
(presently, http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/31913/open-source-advertising-sidebar-1h-2010 
<http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/31913/open-source-advertising-sidebar-1h-2010>).

Note that this is not intended as an advertisement of the product, but 
as an advertisement of the project. The intent is getting people to 
contribute, not to get people to use.
