FreeBSD Journal FAQs

A big part of the FreeBSD Foundation’s mission is to raise awareness of FreeBSD throughout the world. The FreeBSD Journal is an excellent venue for keeping those interested in FreeBSD up-to-date. The articles are timely and informative. Therefore, the Foundation has decided that the benefit of making it freely accessible to everyone will outweigh the cost of producing it. We will continue to accept donations if you’d like to help us support the Journal.

In order to streamline our processes and have more control over the contact we make with the community, we’ve decided to focus solely on the Browser-Based Edition. The new enhanced BB edition provides more benefits to the reader including article narration and an easily downloadable PDF version. 

While we’ve pulled the Journal from the storefront, those who have already downloaded it will still have access to past issues and upcoming issues. However, you will no longer receive notification when a new issue is available and the app will no longer be upgraded.  We recommend registering for the Browser-Based edition now to enjoy the enhanced features and continue to receive issue notifications.

The transition to a free subscription model requires changes to how we collect information. Your registration information will be used to send issue notifications and help with demographic info for advertisers. As before, your registration information will never be shared or sold. Please see the privacy policy for more information.
