Join us to celebrate FreeBSD Day! 

FreeBSD Day, celebrated on June 19, commemorates the launch of the FreeBSD open source operating system and recognizes its pioneering and continued impact on technology.

On June 19, 1993, an email thread on an early BSD list proposed project names for a new open source UNIX derivative. “FreeBSD” was quickly agreed upon from a list of choices. You can view part of the original email thread here. In 2017, the Registrar at National Day Calendar declared National FreeBSD Day to be celebrated annually.

To celebrate the developers, supporters, users, and contributors, we have a week of activities planned. Join us in the celebration by sharing your experiences.
