Yeah, no kidding. ;-)

I think that's pretty much the going story for everyone right now, so
don't sweat it. ;-)

Right now, not much is happening.  beta.bsdadvocacy.org is up and Joshua
was asking for feedback.  AFAIK, bsdevents.org is pretty quiet.

I think I've got my story across.  But I'm not sure what Joshua, Josef
or Eric are currently up to.  Most likely, work and life stuff too.

I'm going to push for volunteers to set up a simple database-backed
blogish site using PHP/Smarty that we can use to share links and whatnot
while we generate content.  I'd do it myself but my hands are absolutely
tied right now.  Nevertheless, I haven't been very vocal about it yet
because of the move, but I probably will soon.

I think we should have a consistent look for both sites, what say?

As discussed in a previous thread, I think we are all in agreement---for
the most part---that the most important thing to do right now is to set
up our operations so that anyone who wants to contribute can do so.  I
think that the plan is to set up an anonymous CVS repository and give
commit bits to select parties, mimicking the freebsd.org model.

I'm working with Joshua and Eric to set up the technicalities, but it's
been somewhat slow-going with our current situations.

Hopefully, more sooner than later!

Because we love BSD!

I could answer that ... for a fee, of course. ;-)

You could try your hand at any of the above tasks.
