The FreeBSD Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and promoting the FreeBSD Project. Funding through donations purchases hardware, funds projects, and supports advocacy efforts for the long-term viability of the project.
FreeBSD Summit, November 7-8, brings together decision-makers, software engineers, individual contributors, and users to share best practices and successes in using FreeBSD.
Join for talks on FreeBSD security improvements, using FreeBSD with NetScaler, and the work to reduce technical debt. And if you ever wanted to hear the history of the BSD Daemon, Kirk McKusick will be at the event to share the history and the art from which it was derived.
Join to learn about the diverse use of FreeBSD and discuss the project with other developers, users, and project leaders? Register today, and we’ll see you on November 7-8!
FreeBSD 13.4-RELEASE significantly enhances infrastructure, hardware compatibility, and security, further demonstrating its value to the industry. This version builds upon the strong foundation established by previous versions within the 13.x series and aligns with the development timeline that includes the FreeBSD 14 branch, introduced in November 2023.
In the spirit of FreeBSD Day 2024, we spoke with Tara Stella, a distinguished architect with a long history in open source development. With three decades of experience, Tara’s transition from Linux to FreeBSD is inspiring and insightful.
E-Card: Scaling Online Gaming and Betting with FreeBSD
E-Card needed to build a scalable, reliable infrastructure to handle vast amounts of data, ensure high-speed access for thousands of concurrent users, and meet strict regulatory requirements for data storage and integrity.
Read the Case Study to see how FreeBSD’s stability, performance, and simplicity drove seamless operation and scalability across 15 high-performance servers, each with up to 96 CPU cores, 3TB of RAM, and over 100TB of ZFS storage.
