[Tor-BSD] NYCBUG1 earns a T-shirt!

Hi tor-bsd --

As the subject line states, I got an email tonight from the Tor project 
offering me a free T-shirt for my (but really: our) efforts in 
maintaining a Tor node.

The Tor project states that they have observed NYCBUG1 running for 61 
days with an average bandwidth of 1170 KB/s. This is more than double 
the minimum bandwidth of 500 KB/s to be eligible for a shirt.

It is nice to get recognition for running a stable Tor node for any 
length of time, but we can do better!

We need more people running *BSD-based Tor nodes. And not just running 
them but being vocal about it as well. This list, I hope in time, will 
be teeming with discussion about Tor on *BSD. Not only will it help us 
as a collective with solving each others' issues and as a tip/hint 
repository - it will also allow us to come forward to the Tor developers 
as a large group who must be heard. And it benefits the Tor project by 
dissipating the current monoculture. Care about Tor? Then start running 
your own *BSD-based Tor node. And take part in this mailing list!

Btw, NYCBUG1 was updated about two weeks ago to 0.2.4.18-rc and 
everything is going well.

As always, NYCBUG1 details can be found here:
