That is excellent news. I have a few comments:
1): I am aware of the abandoned Ubuntu spinoff meant for embedded systems that never really saw the light of day. However, some searches have brought up a few other Freenix references. These may or may not be problematic, I just wanted to bring them to our attention so that they don't catch us off guard in the future. I don't think any of these present problems for the FSF endorsement, but they still might be worth keeping on the radar, just in case.
A current, active project is the FreeNIX Security Labs, offering "Penetration Testing and Free Software", whose site has seen activity as recently as January of this year. Might not be an issue, but they do seem current, active, and in a similar field.

There were also some software conferences by that name, but the last one was over a dozen years ago.

I'm not much of a gamer at all, so I was surprised to come across the Freenix character in Pokemon, and I have no idea what the implications might be:

There also seems to be a few random social media profiles, and a concert series, but I don't think there is much of a conflict here.

2): I have already set up a subdomain for any mirroring purposes. Once we have a new ISO and repo to mirror, I'll convert my rsync script to put it all at the new subdomain:

(I'll take down the borrowed dog photo eventually, I just thought it was hilarious... "We're still setting up, come back later...")
3): The freeslack.space page might be a good start, although I'm not married to it at all. If anyone has any other suggestions or example sites of the direction we'd like to go in, this might be a good place to post links. I personally aim for simplicity and static pages as much as possible, just FYI.
