rw> -- your list of features would make the great beginnings of a white paper White papers are an excellent idea. These are some of the questions that I have faced when talking about FreeBSD: The initial set: * What is FreeBSD? What is it being used for? What kind of products are being built with it? Which organizations are using FreeBSD? Why should we choose FreeBSD over other alternatives? Most folk haven't heard about FreeBSD. Then: * How does one *use* FreeBSD? How does one architect a solution around it? What are its strengths, and what weaknesses should we be aware of? What hardware is supported? And then when people look at the long-term, along comes another bunch of questions: * How does the project work? How do users get heard? Who supports us? Is the "free" support any good? Is there a way to pay someone to support us? Another set: * Where do we find FreeBSD savvy developers? Is there training available? Is there anything like FreeBSD certification for developers? Is a FreeBSD based product maintainable? It would be great to be able to hand over people a bunch of PDFs instead of having to talk :). -- FreeBSD Volunteer, http://people.freebsd.org/~jkoshyReceived on Mon Feb 07 2005 - 10:47:20 UTC
