[FreeBSD-Announce] Faces of FreeBSD Series Kick-Off

Dear FreeBSD Community,

We kicked-off our year-end fundraising campaign last week and we can't =

be more thrilled and thankful to everyone who has made a donation so far =

this year! Since our campaign started on December 4th, we've raised over =

$20,000 with more than 400 donations. Historically, we have started this =

campaign at the beginning of December. And, we typically are about half =

way to our goal at this time. It's very common for non-profits to raise =

70% of their funds during December. We have always been confident that =

we will meet our goals each year and we always have, or have gotten very =

close.

This is our most ambitious fundraising drive to date. We have big plans =

to bring on technical staff members and put more funding into =

development projects. We are also collaborating more with companies who =

use FreeBSD and working to get more companies to co-sponsor projects =

with us.

We are excited to be kicking off our Faces of FreeBSD series. It's a =

chance for us to spotlight different people who contribute to FreeBSD =

and have received funding from us to work on development projects, run =

conferences, travel to conferences, and advocate for FreeBSD.

Let us introduce you to Alberto Mijares. We helped him attend EuroBSDCon =

2012 by assisting him with his travel expenses. Here=92s his story:

support of the FreeBSD Project and community worldwide! To make a =

The FreeBSD Foundation
