Posted by Zonk on

koinu writes "FreeBSD Status Report for the second quarter 2005 has been published by Scott Long. It gives a more precise description of what is being done on the 18 Summer Of Code projects." From the post: "The Google Summer of Code project has also generated quite a bit of excitement. FreeBSD has been granted 18 funded mentorship spots, the fourth most of all of participating organizations. Projects being worked on range from UFS Journalling to porting the new BSDInstaller to redesigning the venerable www.FreeBSD.org website."

    The first guy on the list, Anders Persson, works in the same lab as I do and I had no idea he had a SoC project.

    I need to get outside my cubicle more...

    I heard Netcraft even confirmed it.

    Yeah, I wouldn't use a car right now, because so many people use different makes and models that it all seems pointless. In the light 99% of them choosing the wrong model, I guess the right decision is not to use any of them at all!

    Sir, this post is to warn you that we Anonymous Cowards do not value your opinion regarding the status of "BSD is dying" posts. Frankly, since Netcraft confirms that BSD is dying, it is clear that BSD is dying. This makes "BSD is dying" posts on topic in the context of an official FreeBSD status report. Now, sir, I suggest you do your part to help the BSD family of operating systems die gracefully by

    1. Grounding yourself in the fact that BSD is dying.
    2. Stop complaining about the fact that BSD is dying.
    3. Removing NetBSD and OpenBSD from your servers/firewall.
    4. Installing any VMS derivative operating system you'd like on your servers/firewall.

    We Anonymous Cowards understand your frustration. The BSD family was a wonderful group of operating systems, but the time has come for them to finally rest. You have our sympathy.

    oddly enough, netcraft runs FreeBSD... does that mean netcraft is dying?
