Here is one (the first match on google for "linux advocacy FAQ"): 
<http://www.softpanorama.org/OSS/bad_linux_advocacy_faq.shtml>. It's 
pretty much just a big rant, focused on antimosity towards ESR, mostly.

Also, 
<http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue14/advocate.html>, which refers to 
itself as the "Linux Advocacy HOWTO" in it's User Groups guidelines. 
Most of the guidelines aren't bad, and are pretty common-sense. I don't 
agree with all of them, however.

Both seem completely tangential to important issues, like *freedom*, 
which strikes me as a bit odd.
