[FreeBSD-Announce] Thank You from The FreeBSD Foundation!

[Deb Goodkin]

Dear FreeBSD Community,

We want to thank everyone for helping us exceed our fundraising goal for 
2012. We are thrilled to report we raised $753,378. And, checks are 
still coming in! We should have final numbers by mid-January. Donation 
receipts will be emailed and mailed out by the end of January. If you 
made a donation and you can't find your name on our donor list, please 
let us know. We received so many donations in December, that we missed 
adding some names.

We can't thank you enough for your overwhelming support of the FreeBSD 
Foundation and Project. As we prepare our 2013 budget, we are very 
excited to be putting more funding in the Project Development area. In 
fact, we are always interested in hearing your project proposals. Do you 
have an idea of something you'd like to work on and need funding to help 
you accomplish it? You can find out about our project proposal process 
here:

We also plan to help more developers attend BSD-based conferences. You 
can find out how to apply for a travel grant here:

As the new year starts we are grateful for the working with such 
passionate people who give their free time to the FreeBSD Project. The 
commitment that you all share in making FreeBSD the best OS out there 
inspires and drives us!

The FreeBSD Foundation
