It will be preceded by two days of tutorials on 15-16 May. NOTE: This will be Fri/Sat with tutorials on Wed/Thu. We are now accepting proposals for talks. You have about two weeks = left. See the schedule below. The talks should be designed with a very strong technical content bias. Proposals of a business development or marketing nature are not appropriate for this venue. If you are doing something interesting with a BSD operating system, please submit a proposal. Whether you are developing a very complex system using BSD as the foundation, or helping others and have a story to tell about how BSD played a role, we want to hear about your experience. People using BSD as a platform for research are also encouraged to submit a proposal. Possible topics include: * How we manage a giant installation with respect to handling spam. * and/or sysadmin. * and/or networking. =46rom the BSDCan website, the Archives section will allow you to review the wide variety of past BSDCan presentations as further examples. Both users and developers are encouraged to share their experiences. The schedule is: 1 Dec 2012 Proposal acceptance begins 19 Jan 2013 Proposal acceptance ends 19 Feb 2013 Confirmation of accepted proposals See also Instructions for submitting a proposal to BSDCan 2013 are available from: --=20 Dan Langille - http://langille.org From owner-freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Jan 4 15:56:35 2013 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-announce@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.FreeBSD.org [8.8.178.115]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AA2EFD49 for ; Fri, 4 Jan 2013 15:56:35 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from deb@freebsd.org) Received: from aslan.scsiguy.com (aslan.scsiguy.com [70.89.174.89]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7D859A38 for ; Fri, 4 Jan 2013 15:56:35 +0000 (UTC) Received: from Deb-Goodkins-MacBook-Pro.local (c-67-173-236-152.hsd1.co.comcast.net [67.173.236.152]) (authenticated bits=0) by aslan.scsiguy.com (8.14.5/8.14.5) with ESMTP id r04FuXCq038771 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=DHE-RSA-CAMELLIA256-SHA bits=256 verify=NO) for ; Fri, 4 Jan 2013 08:56:34 -0700 (MST) (envelope-from deb@freebsd.org) Message-ID: <50E6FBAC.3010004@freebsd.org> Date: Fri, 04 Jan 2013 08:56:28 -0700 From: Deb Goodkin User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:17.0) Gecko/17.0 Thunderbird/17.0 MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-announce@freebsd.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Greylist: Sender succeeded SMTP AUTH, not delayed by milter-greylist-4.2.7 (aslan.scsiguy.com [70.89.174.89]); Fri, 04 Jan 2013 08:56:34 -0700 (MST) X-Mailman-Approved-At: Fri, 04 Jan 2013 16:04:54 +0000 Subject: [FreeBSD-Announce] Thank You from The FreeBSD Foundation!

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: http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/documents/FreeBSD%20Foundation%20Proposals.pdf. We also plan to help more developers attend BSD-based conferences. You can find out how to apply for a travel grant here: http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/documents/TravelRequestForm.pdf. 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 P.S. Consider making a donation for 2013!
