I was poking through the BSD columns at O'Reilly today, thinking "isn't it
great that we've got all this BSD information flowing out of one of the
most respected publishers in computerdom?"  I thought it would be great to
have a few more columnists to complement the three they have now, when I
realized they don't have a regular NetBSD columnist.

Big Scary Daemons by Michael Lucas is sort of pan-BSD, while FreeBSD 
Basics and OpenBSD Explained are obviously more focused.  A regular NetBSD
columnist, who could write about day to day use of and the ongoing development
of NetBSD, would be a big plus to their site, and to NetBSD.

Do we have any budding writers who can tackle this job?  I can honestly
say writing a column every other month is more taxing that I thought it 
would be; doing a weekly or bi-weekly is going to be WORK.  It would sure
benefit the community, though, and O'Reilly PAYS.

So, who can step up?
