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