Dear Visitor,
Welcome to the FreeBSD Foundation's website!
Since our founding in 2000, the FreeBSD Foundation has played a growing role in supporting the FreeBSD Project and community. Here you'll find information about all our recent activities. From managing intellectual property issues and funding development projects, to supporting technical conferences and developer collaboration, we've been very busy. I encourage you take a few minutes to browse our website and learn more about what we do.
As a 501(c)3 charity, all of our work is funded by donations. We believe strongly that the community we serve and those who trust us with their donations deserve insight into how we manage our finances. For this reason, our books are published quarterly and can be reviewed in the financial section of our website.
This year we celebrate 10 years of service to the FreeBSD community. Through conservative management and careful planning we have weathered the most severe recession in 50 years while placing the FreeBSD Foundation in the strongest financial position in our history. For 2010 we have doubled our funded project budget, sponsored more events, and expanded our travel grant programs. Our growing strength and capabilities, all made possible by your generous donations, are proof that the FreeBSD Foundation will be a faithful supporter of FreeBSD for decades to come.
We hope to continue our growth in the years to come, but that will only be possible through continued public support. I hope you not only benefit from our work, but find it compelling enough to consider sending us a donation.
Enjoy the site!
Sincerely,
Justin T. Gibbs
President
