#InstallFreeBSD

[Anne Dickison]

Hi everyone,
The FreeBSD Foundation will put together some talking points. However, to
get started, here is the PDF of our "Get Involved" Brochure which
highlights a bit more about why to get involved in FreeBSD.

If you are planning on hosting an event, please let the FreeBSD Foundation
know via marketing at freebsdfoundation.org. We'll be promoting these events
though our social media channels and those of our marketing partners.

Thanks
Anne
