Nobody is advertising for Linux and the FLOSS
ecosystem. The community needs to step up. Let’s make ourselves
better known. A new community effort, called Open Source
Advertisement Network, wants to revive this idea. It collects
for-free banner and text ads, which are to be displayed on personal
blogs and community web sites. No money involved.

This undertaking is in need for help, as collecting these
125×125 banners isn’t a simple task. Quite a lot even small
projects have marketing materials of some kind, but it’s difficult
to uncover. So if you know a nice graphic to be used for extra
publicity, or want to advertise your own free / libre / open source
software, then please contribute a banner. Submitting is extremely
simple.

Will still in its infancy, O.S.A.N. is already looking for blog
owners to embed the banners into their web sites. It’s super simple
to do and very unequivocally states your support for the
Linux/FLOSS community.
