Hi all, Last week takes place at the CNIT, La Défence, close to Paris, the 2012 edition of Solutions Linux. Solutions Linux is a corporate event focused in open source solutions, and open source project. With some enthusiastic we animate a FreeBSD booth to promote FreeBSD in corporate environments. We also come with goodies for all the FreeBSD enthusiastic.
We discuss a lot with companies and individuals * who want to starting business projects who are looking for a Open Source OS and hesitate between FreeBSD and other competitors. * who are already selling solutions for linux and looking for some help to package their products for FreeBSD eg. the dolibar CRM [1] or arkeia [2] who sells a backup appliance also available for FreeBSD clients We met the nfrance crew [3], a french hosting company located in Toulouse[4]. nfrance, who only uses FreeBSD in their hosting infrastructure, was looking for some ways to collaborate and contribute to the FreeBSD project. Baptiste Daroussin (bapt@) makes a short appearance in a webtv program with Landry Breuil from the openbsd project to talk about the BSD and the incoming features in 9.1 and beyond. The tall will be online soon [5]. A french tech news website talks about us as one of the most visible project of the exhibition[6]. Of course, pictures will come soon. We want to specially thanks iXsystems who provides a lot of goodies (horns, post-it, stress balls). We redistribute them for free and collect donations for the FreeBSD project. For these 3 days we collect 300 US$ donated directly to the freeBSD fundation "On behalf of FreeBSD donations at Solutions Linux 2012". We also want to thanks Daniel Seuffert ds@ for his support year after year !
