As you may know, June 19th has been declared FreeBSD Day, and we hope you’ll join us in honoring the Project’s pioneering legacy and continuing impact on technology. This year, the Foundation is celebrating all week long.
Why June 19th
June 19, 1993 was the day the official name for FreeBSD was agreed upon. See part of the email thread here.
