What is Holding BSD Back? An Open Call for Help.
August 03, 2000
I wrote this article due to frustrations I see in the strides that BSD is
making. I would like to see more growth, but I do not have the resouces in
both time and money to bring this to fruition, so I hope that someone out
there agrees with my views of what needs to be done for BSD to grow, and is
willing to help.

by Kelleye and Len Vinci
Thinking about working a booth at a USENIX conference?
Sounds like a lot of work, and a lot of fun too! BTW,
what's with those horns?

Bill Joy delivers USENIX keynote

USENIX report: Bill Joy of Sun Microsystems delivered
the keynote address on 21 June 2000 at the USENIX
Technical Conference in San Diego. Joy's talk focused on
his predictions of the future of computing, drawing on
his extensive experience in the industry. Joy began by
recalling the origins of Open Source UNIX, before that
term had been coined.

DN Relaunches BSD Mall
August 01, 2000
Daemon News has teamed up with Cylogistics, a BSD reseller channel, to
create a better BSD Mall. We have also adopted phpShop as our shopping cart
system. The mall has a new look and we are fully operational.
We currently have CD sets available for all the major BSDs.
Our goal here is to create a strong market for BSD goods and services.
Through cylogistics, resellers can easily get their products into the BSD
market. Daemon News provides the retail outlet to get products to as large
a BSD audience as possible.
If you are looking for BSD products, this is the place. If we don't have
it, and it runs on BSD, let us know and we will get it. If you have a BSD
product that you need to get into the BSD sector, let us help you get it
out there. If you are looking to retail BSD items, Cylogistics can get them
to you.
This is a great opportunity to build the BSD marketshare.
