Welcome to Call For Testing, an online technical journal dedicated to the Berkley Unix. Call For Testing picks up where other BSD-related publications leave off by providing:
- Authoritative BSD technical information that aims to document, analyze and inspire
- In-depth BSD conference reporting for those unable to attend
- Unbiased analysis of BSD business and community management issues
- Community outreach and coordination involving developer hardware acquisition, event organization and formal advocacy
- Actual calls for testing of new code to help guarantee that the BSD's remain "The greatest software ever written." (Information Week, August 2006)
- Ultimately, a platform for educating and orienting the next generation of BSD developers
