FreeBSD Developers,
The FreeBSD Foundation is starting its Fall fundraising campaign.
The success of this effort will have a large impact on our budget
for next year. There are lots of ways the developer community can
help us meet our goal of fully funding our 2006 budget.
o Get the word out!
The FreeBSD Foundation relies heavily on word of mouth to promote
its efforts. Mention the FreeBSD Foundation when you encounter
our users and contributors.
o Brush up on facts about the FreeBSD Foundation.
The best way to increase the visibility of the FreeBSD Foundation
is to talk about what it does and why supporting it is vital to
FreeBSD's success. Did you know:
o It costs the Foundation aproximately $20,000 a year in legal fees
just to safeguard the project's intellectual property.
o Our efforts span the globe. We've spent over $15,000 sponsoring
BSDCAN, EuroBSDCON, and AsiaBSDCON and another $17,000 in travel
grants to insure our developer community was present to make the
most of these events. (Note these numbers include fourth quarter
spending and so are a little higher than those in our last published
profit and loss statement).
o Almost half of the FreeBSD Foundation's budget targets funded
development projects.
o Talk to your employer.
Does your company benefit from technology developed by the FreeBSD
community? Supporting the FreeBSD Foundation is an excellent way
to insure continued inovation that is released under the liberal
terms of the BSD license.
o Tell us your FreeBSD success story.
Help us make our case to others. Do you know of a novel use of
FreeBSD? A product made possible through the use of FreeBSD
technology? A successful deployment of FreeBSD servers? Tell
us about it so we can promote these story on our website and
when soliciting for funds.
With your help I'm certain we'll have a very successful drive.
You can monitor our progress by looking at the thermometer on the
FreeBSD Foundation's home page: www.FreeBSDFoundation.org.
Thanks for your support!
Justin
