Wow. I'm absolutely surprised that you folks have not generated more content. I was at ISPCON yesterday and talked to some Vyatta community members who subscribe to this mailing list. Lots of people mentioned having a good belly-laugh, but nobody seems to have responded with content. Thus, I'll pick up my own glove and throw it down again... Folks, let's see your letters. Make them serious. Make them humorous. Make them tender. Make them sad. But let's see some creative writing. No limits on the number you can write, either. Once you do one, you'll probably want to do five or more.
Now get writing! -- Dave _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Roberts Sent: Monday, October 15, 2007 3:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Vyatta-users] Dear John... Some Monday fun for everybody. After coming back from the Ohio Linux Fest at the end of September, we were sitting around here at Vyatta discussing the show. Somebody remarked that there were an aweful lot of people that came up to our booth and told us that they loved open source networking and really wanted to tell Cisco to take a hike. Somebody else around the table jokingly said, "Yea, wouldn't it be fun to write Cisco a 'Dear John' letter?" Thus was born the Vyatta Secret Society Dear John page: http://www.vyatta.com/secret/dearjohn/index.php If you aren't familiar with a Dear John letter, it's a form of breakup letter that was often written to American GIs during WWII by their stay-at-home sweethearts who, rather than wait for the GI to return, had finally decided to break up with him and marry the guy next door. For more on the form, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dear_John_letter So, try your creative writing skills and write your own break-up letter to Cisco. Feel free to vote for your favorites, too. -- Dave
