Hi advocacy@ people
>From browser ports/www/dillo side bar of LinuxFund I found:
http://www.linuxfund.org/ ->
http://bsdfund.org/card/ ->
http://bsdfund.org/contact/
Names of organisers Michael Dexter & David Mandel are not familiar to me.
Wondering if a competitor to FreeBSD Foundation .. or .. ?

Cheers,

Hi,

Yes, I ear from this fund in a FreeBSDNews website post [1]

"BSD Fund is a United States 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to assist and fund BSD-related events, development and initiatives around the world. BSD Fund raises money through direct donations and the BSD Fund Visa that supports BSD with every purchase. BSD or Berkeley Software Distribution is a family of open source licenses and operating systems that emphasize permissive redistribution and high technical standards."

And as Gerard says : "For clarity, the BSD Fund is supporting the BSD family of operating systems, whilest the FreeBSD Foundation only funds FreeBSD related activities and projects"

Hope this helps

- Rodrigo

I'm not sure this is a competitor to anybody :)
guys obviously are just trying to help, like with the card
it's a nice idea, too bad we cannot make such deals
in EU.

Not sure what happened in your mail reader, but there should be a "." between "bsdtalk175-bsdfund-with-michael-dexter" and "html"

I'm using exmh 2.7.2 as mail reader.

Not sure if my Autoconvert failed. (I dislike quoted printable)
& reccomend typing \r by reflex when one gets near col 80 ;-)
