The &os; Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization + dedicated to supporting and promoting the &os; Project and + community worldwide. Most of the funding is used to support + &os; development projects, conferences and developer summits, + purchase equipment to grow and improve the &os; infrastructure, + and provide legal support for the Project.

+ +

We held our year-end fundraising campaign. We are still + processing donations and will post the final numbers by + mid-January. We are extremely grateful to all the individuals + and organizations that supported us and the Project by making a + donation in 2013. We already started our fundraising efforts + for 2014.

+ +

Some of the highlights from this past quarter include:

+ +

We sponsored or are sponsoring the following projects: + +
- Projects completed last quarter: Capsicum, Casper daemon, and + Intel I/O Memory Management Unit driver.
- Projects in progress: Native in-kernel iSCSI stack, + network stack layer 2 modernization, UEFI boot, updated + vt(9) system console.
- Projects started last quarter: Automounter, Intel + graphics driver update.
+
Continued work on the &os; Journal, our new online &os; magazine, + which debuts on January 27th.
Sponsored, organized, and ran the Bay Area Developer Summit.
Sponsored and attended the first ever vBSDCon, which had an + impressive attendance.
Sponsored and attended the OpenZFS developer summit.
Represented the foundation at the following conferences: All + Things Open in Raleigh, NC and LISA in DC.
Sponsored the &os; 20th Birthday Party, held in San + Francisco.
Attended the ICANN meeting in Buenos Aires in November and + gave a short presentation on the change from BIND to unbound in + &os; 10.0 during the ccNSO Tech Day.
Met with a few companies to discuss their &os; use, what + they would like to see supported in &os;, and assist with + collaboration between them and the Project.
Purchased an 80-core server to reside at Sentex for the + Project to use for stability, scalability, and performance + improvements. It is a big step forwards for the Foundation in + providing this kind of hardware to the Project's developers. + It will let us test our scaling to 80 simultaneous cores and + 1 TB of RAM. It will also be used to do performance + analysis on large workloads, such as large databases etc.
Acquired a second rack to use at Sentex.
We received a commitment from VMware, Inc. for BSD-licensed + drivers. They also committed to a yearly silver level + donation.
Signed up as a Google Compute trusted tester for the + Project.
Funded a project to produce a white paper titled Managed + Services Using &os; at NYI.
Finally, we published our semi-annual newsletter (see links) + highlighting what we did to support the &os; Project and + Community in 2013.
