Hello Thierry, A new LinkedIn group named Berkey Software Distro Corner is currently pending approval. Within two working days I hope it will get the green light.

Groups are a new thing on LinkedIn and they seem to be quite viral and good for marketing to professionals. I see many FreeBSD committers already on LinkedIn. It's likely that they'd join too. I almost created the group myself, but I'm probably not a good maintainer for it. Not that it requires much work. Somebody in Advocacy or Marketing should probably look into creating a FreeBSD group.

I also took action and created FreeBSD Users which produced the same 2 working day review mail. Will let you know how that goes. If that's accepted, I was thinking of also creating FreeBSD Contributor and FreeBSD Committer as well. I've shrunken the standard logo down to sizes required by LinkedIn. Perhaps it would be nice to have separate logos for FreeBSD User, FreeBSD Contributor, and FreeBSD Committer? I've done a bit of Googling to see if I could find the custom logo font produced by Anton Gural, but no luck. Any pointers there would be appreciated. Worst case, I suppose I could find some other font that's looks reasonably nice with the logo. Bob, I also tried not to use the name FreeBSD at all. I think it's ok to have two discussion groups with the samen topic on LinkedIn. If it's not ok I will have to join your group (or you'll have to join mine, just as the jury decides). I guess you already know these links : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Velsen and http://focusopvelsen.nl/afbeeldingen/Cover_210.jpg showing the cover of a history book published last year. A bestseller so they say.
