Nov 20 (3 posts): About the Symbolism

+ +

Here we have [Stanislav + Posonsky] asking us about the d¦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.

+ +

[Will Andrews] + replied, letting Stanislav know that this has been discussed + MANY times, and gave us a nice explanation of why + we like the d¦mon, and why we keep it.

+ +
+

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. - [Will Andrews]

Well, it seems we still haven't stopped discussing why this + original post shouldn't have been Cc'd + to -advocacy. A few good quotes this week:

+ +
+

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. - [Rahul + Siddharthan]

+
+ +
+

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. - [Wes Peters]

Nov 13 - Nov 16 (20 posts): Any artists interested in doing a FreeBSD animated GIF banner?

+ +

We're still on the lookout for some new banner ads. This week's + unveilings:

+ + + +

But, [Wes Peters] says:

+ +
+

Except it still doesn't have beastie doing the Macarena. + That would be cool.

Nov 16 - Nov 19 (5 posts): Good BSD press in feedmag

+ +

[Dag-Erling Smorgrav sent us a + url + with this quote:

+ +
+

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.

+
+ +

However, I declined to follow the link due to the bad reviews + that followed as replies. You decide for yourself.

+ +
+ +

This conspectus expresses my understanding of what occurred on the + FreeBSD-advocacy mailing list during the specified week.

+ +

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.
