We invested $1.3M to improve FreeBSD’s operating system, ensuring compliance with evolving government guidelines, enhancing its functionality, and promoting its benefits. Committed to its longevity, security, and global impact, we’re developing software, upgrade infrastructure, and lead advocacy initiatives. Read more for detailed updates.
Leading Tech Innovation
FreeBSD is the reliable and secure choice for tech innovation. Giants like Netflix and NetApp trust it. Version 14 has improved security and performance, while 13.3 offers unparalleled stability. FreeBSD 15 promises even more impressive enhancements. Learn more about why FreeBSD thrives.
Software Development
In 2024, the FreeBSD Foundation made progress on multiple software development initiatives, focusing on improving wireless networks and advancing cloud and file systems. It also began new work on the audio subsystem, unionfs, hierarchical rate limits in ZFS, vector packet processing, and an IOMMU driver. Learn More.
Advocacy and Marketing
The March / April focus for Advocacy and Marketing has been to highlight the users of FreeBSD, how they use it, and the benefits they realize. In talking to users, we (unsurprisingly) found that they love FreeBSD for its simplicity and ease of use! Check out our FreeBSD End User pageto get inspired, and if you have a story you want to share, we’d love to hear it!
“I’m a distinguished architect, so I usually build architecture for large data centers using virtualization and containerization. A friend of mine invited me to try out FreeBSD because I was searching for a stable NAS solution.”Tara Stella, FreeBSD User
Donors of all sizes contribute to the FreeBSD Foundation’s mission, funding projects and providing vital infrastructure used in the project’s development and support. Our roster for 2024 includes industry giants and scale-up ventures like NetApp, AMD, RG Nets, Tailscale, Microsoft, and Nozomi Networks. We would also like to thank NYI, Equinix, Sentex, NCTU Computer Science, Bytemark, and Ampere for their in-kind donations.
