Hello there,

I'm writing to tell that I'm interested in helping to port HAL to
FreeBSD. I have some background in C/C++ programming, but no
background in kernel level stuff.

Looking at HAL source code, it seems to have little dependency on
kernel level resources, just some ioctl calls, and some exclusive
Linux kernel structures, as far as I can see.

I believe that this task will be a great start point to learn more
about FreeBSD and GNOME.

Are there any plans? Right now I'm trying only to build HAL (version
0.5.5) in my FreeBSD box.

Thanks.
