While the snow falls outside and the holidays approaching fast, it is time for the FreeBSD Foundations yearly End-of-Year fundraising campaign. This year again brought an impressive list of accomplishments by the Foundation, to mention a few:

• Provided $100,000 in grants for projects that improve FreeBSD in the areas of:
  – DTrace support
  – High availability storage
  – Enhanced SNMP reporting
  – Virtualization and resource partitioning
  – Embedded device support
  – Networking stack improvements
• Allocated $50,000 for equipment to enhance FreeBSD project infrastructure.
• Sponsored 8 FreeBSD related conferences.
• Funded 16 travel grants giving increased community and developer access to conferences.
• Provided legal support to the FreeBSD project.

We are fortunate to already have reached half of this years fund-raising goal of $350,000, so please consider a donation, no matter how large or small, to help us reach that goal and help us continue supporting the FreeBSD community through next year as well.
