https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=263403 Bug ID: 263403 Summary: FreeBSD Advocacy Project, including myths: update Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any URL: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-doc/blob/main/websi te/content/en/advocacy/myths.adoc OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Manual Pages Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: grahamperrin@gmail.com CC: advocacy@FreeBSD.org, doc@FreeBSD.org <https://www.freebsd.org/advocacy/myths/#old-codebase> <https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-doc/blob/main/website/content/en/advocacy/myths.adoc#old-codebase> > … the BSD codebase may be more than 20 years old, … – should be more like: > … the BSD codebase is more than forty-four years old, … – the phrase "Forty-four" has a nice 'ring' to it. Ideally, link to <https://freebsdfoundation.org/freebsd/timeline/> with 1BSD Release at 1978-03-08 on the BSD timeline, which runs above and parallel to the FreeBSD timeline. ---- Consider adding a paragraph to address the somewhat stereotypical view that use of FreeBSD (or FreeBSD on notebooks), by FreeBSD developers, is unusual (or a rarity). Please see, for example: <https://old.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/u5nkli/-/i54c1st/> ---- Anything else? We had bug 260763 fixed not long ago for the same page, so (I guess) nothing hugely important at this time. Looking ahead: revisit advocacy well ahead of the (2023) thirtieth anniversary of FreeBSD. (An update to the Foundation's timeline page will be smart, but that's beyond the scope of this Bugzilla.) Thanks -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
