That is your manifesto. FreeBSD is more dependant of its users than its users are of FreeBSD. FreeBSD needs to live.

FreeBSD is for man kind by man kind. FreeBSD is for rich, spoiled people by rich, spoiled people. The same way FreeBSD is for oppressed people, by oppressed people. All people. We users (those of us who represent the next generation) are the ones that'll eventually be put in charge of the project after our current leaders retire or die. I also agree with you that most BSD people need a change of attitude. 30% of all e-mails are more rude than even people with intentions to kill would utter before killing. -- Fafa Hafiz Krantz Research Designer @ http://www.home.no/barbershop Enlightened @ http://www.home.no/barbershop/smart/sharon.pdf -- ___ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm ___ freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-advocacy To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

There are much more important things to be obsessive compulsive about. If you are as concerned about FreeBSD as you say you are, do something constructive.

Only in the case where the users are also developers. A bunch of developers who choose to develop software for their own use have no inherent need for us. If you want a rational discussion, you'll need to come down to Earth. > FreeBSD needs to live. Users could always switch to Linux. FreeBSD does not "need to live". If all of its developers and users decided to move on to something else, that would be okay. FreeBSD survives because it provides great benefit and many enjoy developing it. There is no moral obligation, however, for the project to continue. > > > I have expressed my views in the email lists; and if I had any > > talent, I would submit a logo.

FreeBSD is for those who want to use it; but that usage does not provide any rights to its users. There is no obligation for the Project to provide support to its users. You can get FreeBSD for free; and you already get more than you paid for. > > We users (those of us who represent the next generation) are the ones > that'll eventually be put in charge of the project after our current > leaders retire or die.

Re: Want a logo competition? Do it properly.
I really must say that Fafa is a useless troll. He requests his name not be on any mailing lists, yet acknowledges that it infact isn't even his/her name, and continues to mail the lists. Topposting hurray.
