Should the FreeBSD community endeavor to get some free advertising for
Scala at Stack Overflow, as described
athttp://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/12/free-vote-based-advertising-for-open-source-projects/
<http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/12/free-vote-based-advertising-for-open-source-projects/>?
The required work consists of little more than producing a 220x220 Scala
advertising image and posting it at the proper (time-wise) thread tagged
open-source-advertising on meta.stackoverflow.com
<http://meta.stackoverflow.com>(http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/open-source-advertising
<http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/open-source-advertising>).
The exact details can be found in that post
(presently, http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/31913/open-source-advertising-sidebar-1h-2010
<http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/31913/open-source-advertising-sidebar-1h-2010>).
Note that this is not intended as an advertisement of the product, but
as an advertisement of the project. The intent is getting people to
contribute, not to get people to use.
