Suggestion about Advertising Donations

[Nicola Mingotti]

Hi,

Since a few weeks I am a FreeBSD user
and I am very satisfacted. Good product, good documentation,
wonderful forum for support !

I donated (a bit) to FreeBSD a few days ago and I have just donated
(another bit) to Wikipedia today.

I think Wikipedia has a good thing that FreeBSD should copy.
When I donate to Wikipedia I am asked if I want to say it on Facebook and Twitter.
I think this is important for promotion.
I suggest that even in FreeBSD, on donation a user should be asked if he wants
to share it on social media. Maybe with a comment.

In my case the comment would have been:
"If you used Linux and found it great but chaotic try FreeBSD, an Operanting System you can still understand".


Bye
Nicola

I think this is important for propaganda.

I like you already. But the word you're looking for is promote.

Propaganda has connotations of misleading information.

Promote is to "sell it", or push a product or agenda, which is what I believe you meant.

Oh, thank you for correction Trihexagonal , I checked on Merriam-Webster and the
meaning is totally negative in English.
I change "propaganda" with "promotion".

No problem, Nicola Mingotti, glad to help. Your English is much better than my Italian, though I do love a good Giallo.

I believe in promoting FreeBSD, too.
