<h3><a name="1"></a>Nov 20 (3 posts): <a href="http://docs.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=8998+0+current/freebsd-advocacy">About the Symbolism</a></h3>
<p>Here we have <a href="mailto:posonsky@iname.ru">[Stanislav
Posonsky]</a> asking us about the d&brvbar;mon logo, which he
refers to as an "impish creature", and whether or not we should
give up this "devilry" in favor of a more neutral symbol for our
logo/image.</p>
<p><a href="mailto:will@physics.purdue.edu">[Will Andrews]</a>
replied, letting Stanislav know that this has been discussed
<strong>MANY</strong> times, and gave us a nice explanation of why
we like the d&brvbar;mon, and why we keep it.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><i>It is not an impish creature. It's a daemon, which is a
generic name for a server process, such as Apache, or inetd, or
syslogd, etc. The fork the daemon wields refers to the fork()
system call. As you can see, there is no relationship between
Satanic images and our mascot.</i> - <a

<p>Well, it seems we still haven't stopped discussing why this
<a href="12.html#1">original post</a> shouldn't have been Cc'd
to -advocacy. A few good quotes this week:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><i>It's plain common sense to not Cc advocacy. Apart from the
unwanted implication that you're a spokesman for FreeBSD
advocacy, there is a danger of the recipient of your mail
getting submerged in a deluge of -advocacy replies. Luckily,
that didn't happen in this case.</i> - [<a
href="mailto:Rahul.Siddharthan@ltp.ens.fr">Rahul
Siddharthan]</a></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><i>No, he's just trying to get you to stop sending email that
has the appearance of collusion with the FreeBSD Project. If
you want to send a "heads up" to a FreeBSD mailing list use BCC
so the person or company you're sending the mail to will not
misconstrue your message as coming from or being approved by the
FreeBSD Project or Advocacy group.</i> - <a
href="mailto:wes@softweyr.com">[Wes Peters]</a></p>

<p>We're still on the lookout for some new banner ads. This week's
unveilings:</p>

<p>But, <a href="mailto:wes@softweyr.com">[Wes Peters]</a> says:</p>

<p><i>Except it still doesn't have beastie doing the Macarena.
That would be cool.</i></p>

<p><a href="mailto:des@ofug.org">[Dag-Erling Smorgrav</a> sent us a
<a href="http://www.feedmag.com/essay/es405_master.html">url</a>
with this quote:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><i>The underground's latest heroes are the directors of
software projects based on 4.4BSD Lite, the free operating
system pioneered at the University of California at Berkeley in
the late 1970s. The gratis software churned out by projects
like FreeBSD and OpenBSD is in arguably superior to most
mainstream Linux distributions, both in terms of security and
portability.</i></p>
</blockquote>
<p>However, I declined to follow the link due to the bad reviews
that followed as replies. You decide for yourself.</p>

<p>This conspectus expresses my understanding of what occurred on the
FreeBSD-advocacy mailing list during the specified week.</p>
<p>Hey, I'm human... I may have made an error or two... If you think
this is the case, and/or that I have omitted some significant thread
or part of a thread, feel free to contact me via email.</p>
