    Must be a slow news day. That article about IA64 was completely unintelligible. Anyone have something good to talk about?

    So how does one vote? I see the candidates, but no info on actually voting. Anyone know?

    Well there are certainly some very good candidates in the election.

    Pity regular BSD users can't register and have a vote, even if it was only worth 1/100 of that by a committer.

    It is really interesting to see the views of all the candidates. Is there a page that shows the views of all the current core members, like where they want to see the project heading, what they specialise in, what their background is?

    Just replace
    Linux -> M$
    FreeBSD -> Linux

    and just imagine Goddes Luck hadnt help Linux to get this far, and yep
    YOU FUNKEN TROLS SPEAK like your soul is ful of hatred, (which is a symptom of lacking a mind,
    and therefore the only defense), and needless
    to say this criterion applies to M$ people.

    Nuke the trolls outta slashdot, or it will
    be not worhty visiting it anymore.

    Just a funken TV reality show.

    Maybe Linux is COOL (it is actually)
    Maybe M$ sux (it does actually)
    Maybe FreeBSD is dying (IT DEFINATELY IS NOT)
    But SURELY the dumpass who made out this poem
    about FreeBSD, just because he managed to installed his redhat, whereas with BSD he apparently
    had no chance, is an all-time clasic loser.
    I feel pity for him.

  6. Did you even go to the site? by essdodson · · Score: 1

    Way to go slashdot. Itd be nice if people reponsible for posting articles followed links to see what was up. The /. article links directly to a page which says that its not for public consumption. What the hell is up with that?

    This site is intended for the private use of the FreeBSD committer team. As such, it was not placed on a server capable of handling the interest of the world at large.

    Lame I tell you. Next thing you'll see is links to internal websites not accessable from outside corperate Intranets...

      2 days ago when the article was published there was no page saying:

      This site is intended for the private use of the FreeBSD committer team. As such, it was not placed on a server capable of handling the interest of the world at large.

      It just had a list of candidates, and a long list of their values, views, life and programming experiences etc. Was very informative. I think it should have been open for public viewing. I guess they just didn't like having an open slashdot link going to it. If the original page would have noted that it was a private page for committers only then that would be different. It does now, but that was at least a day late.

    The problem with FreeBSD is they are always holding elections and having debates never taking into account that maybe its the coding that counts. To much political bullshit and not enough listening to those you represent. Every decision has to go through one committee after another endless infighting and debates. BSD coders if you want a place where your voice will be heard and appreciated move over to Linux. BSD is a great operating system that is dying because it has lost its vison and direction. What coder wants to sit around reading endless laws and by laws. It is time that BSD GPL LGL their code. Linux coders do no hate BSD they love some of the code you write but its that fucking license. Your code is freely available until one decides he wants to pull it from the code base that sucks. Some of these coders then turn around and make the code nonfree and sell it to the highest bidder after a lot of people gave their time and energy shit makes them feel used and cheated. http://www.gnu.org and http://www.stallman.org to learn about GPL LGPL. Just GPL LPL the code.
