      It seems that every year there's one talk which makes me wish I was going to #reinvent. This one seems to be it this year. But I really can't justify spending the time and money... not when FreeBSD/EC2 is an unpaid volunteer endeavour. :-/https://twitter.com/_msw_/status/932839562170261505 …

      Anthony Liguori will be speaking at a breakout session covering the hardware and software that powers #EC2 instances, including the new hypervisor introduced with C5 instances at #reInvent 2017. Don't miss it! https://www.portal.reinvent.awsevents.com/connect/sessionDetail.ww?SESSION_ID=16761 …

      Have you ever considered speaking yourself? I’d love to go to a talk about FreeBSD on EC2

      Well... there's not much to say, really. "FreeBSD is an operating system. It works. Any questions?"

      🤦‍♂️ Your blog posts are super interesting, that's great material! and there's gotta be at least 25 minutes of ways FreeBSD is better than either Linux or Windows.

      There are lots of ways that FreeBSD is a superior operating system, but I don't do marketing. (And the conferences I mainly attend, like @bsdcan, don't accept marketing talks.)

      Speaking as a potential audience member, I don't want marketing either - I want tawdry trash talking of Linux ;-) Seriously though: FreeBSD is under considered and many would benefit from learning about some of its benefits.

          I guess I'm not sure where exactly to draw the line between "explaining FreeBSD's benefits" and "marketing". Or whether I'm the right person to do it, given that I have close to zero experience with FreeBSD as a "Linux alternative".

          There are probably other people who have used both extensively and can talk far better about the differences. I can't really do the trash talking side of things. ;-)
