This is very cool and exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you Anne!

Hi everyone,
The FreeBSD Foundation will put together some talking points. However,
to get started, here is the PDF of our "Get Involved" Brochure which
highlights a bit more about why to get involved in FreeBSD.

If you are planning on hosting an event, please let the FreeBSD
Foundation know via market...@freebsdfoundation.org
<mailto:market...@freebsdfoundation.org>. We'll be promoting these
events though our social media channels and those of our marketing
partners.
Thanks

Dear FreeBSD developers, users, and other enthusiasts:
This is a call for individuals to organize #InstallFreeBSD
events in their
locales. The purpose of these events is to increase awareness
of our
favorite operating system because it's worth knowing about and
using.
The events should be planned ahead of time and open to the
public to
maximize the impact of sharing FreeBSD with the wider world.
It would be
great to use a shared agenda that will allow each event to
engage its
participants in an intentional but leave room for flexibility.
These events should take place the week of Monday, March 30.
It's several
weeks away, which allows plenty of time to collaborate on
putting these
together.
For a more in-depth look at how and why, see
http://www.trollaxor.com/2015/02/call-to-action-plan-installfreebsd-event.html
.
If you're interested, have questions, or already have one
coming together,
share here on the list and coordinate the work.
This is a really good idea.
I guess one question I would have to ask though is what are the
selling points of FreeBSD? The page has a great agenda, but let's
say you were appealing to someone running Linux, Ubuntu, OS X,
Windows... what exactly do they have to gain by coming down and
installing FreeBSD?
It would be nice to have some talking points on that.
