Thank you for being part of this journey and helping shape the future of open source.

🎂 Thank you to Linux Professional Institute (LPI) for helping celebrate FreeBSD Day and sharing Andrew Oram's series on BSD's impact on the Internet.

Many of the networking technologies that helped make the Internet what it is today have roots in BSD, and we're proud to see that history continue to be recognized 33 years after FreeBSD's founding.

We appreciate the support and partnership. Happy FreeBSD Day! 🎉

As the FreeBSD Developer Summit comes to a close, we'd like to thank everyone who joined us in Ottawa this week.
One of the best parts of events like the Developer Summit is the opportunity to come together in person, share ideas, collaborate on projects, solve problems, and strengthen the relationships that help move FreeBSD forward.

And today, we're celebrating another milestone: Happy FreeBSD Day and happy 33rd birthday to the FreeBSD Project!

Thank you to the developers, contributors, users, advocates, sponsors, and community members who make FreeBSD what it is.

Thank you for being part of the FreeBSD community. Here's to another year of innovation, collaboration, and open source excellence.

FreeBSD Day is tomorrow.

We’re feeling a little nostalgic…

What version of FreeBSD did you start on?
Was it a CD, a stack of floppies, or something else?

We're excited to see the launch of the AI-assisted Vulnerability Discovery Project, supported by Alpha-Omega.

This six-month initiative will help the FreeBSD Security Team identify and address vulnerabilities in the FreeBSD source code, strengthening the security and resilience of the Project.

A special thank you to the engineers leading this effort: Mark Johnston, Pierre Pronchery, and Tuukka Pasanen, as well as project partners Netflix , NetApp , and Verisign for supporting testing and validation.

We’re grateful to Alpha-Omega for funding this important work and helping advance open source security.
