All over the world.

Good knowledge of C and a relatively good level of familiarity with UNIX
tools like make is an absolute must have.  Contributions, in the form of
patches that fix known issues or add useful features to the kernel, are
the next thing.

See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/contributing/
for details about possible ways that you can contribute to FreeBSD in
general :-)
