I may have mentioned before that I'm working on a website for blog.freebsd.org. I've got some ideas for what to put on it, but as most of my readers are FreeBSD users, I'd like to know what would y'all like to see? Some ideas I've had so far are:
- Ongoing projects such as drivers that you normally have to dig down in Google to find some perforce repo with a status page that may or may not be up to date.
- Security advisories.
- New releases and details of all the changes being made - something a bit more in depth than the CHANGES file.
Hi Randy,
I would like to see a periodic status report about what's going on in the development branch: Like changes, new features etc.
I would say that is would be the most interesting thing for me.
Bye,
Dennis
padlock and crypto acceleration!
Hi
I personally would like to see information similar to OpenBSD Hackathon Summary.
Something similiar to undeadly.org would be nice indeed.
Ports activity summary.
Important changes that need to be mentioned.
Developer interviews/blogs.
etc.
Hi,
I would like to see the status of using FreeBSD for virtualization (ie. running VirtualBox on FreeBSD). Thanks.
Sean
Sure there are some things that should be staples (ie: in-depth human friendly chats about changes, etc)... but just any old thing that reminds us all of how cool FreeBSD is. If someone does something cool with/on/for FreeBSD, why not talk about it.
Go Randi ! Go !
You should ask the FreeBSD diary owner about integrating that site's content and purpose with the blog. Had the term "blog" been coined at the time the "diary" was created, it surely would've been called the FreeBSD Blog. That thing was pretty indispensible back in the 1.X days, though not sure how useful it is nowadays, or if it's even updated regularly - the updates look sparse at a glance.
