Hello= Enterprise WG!!

Happy Friday to those who celebrate.

Something many of you have said, and that I hear on = a regular basis from FreeBSD users, is that it's not always easy to fin= d hardware makers (CPU, GPU, NICs, HDD, SDD...) that provide good support f= or FreeBSD.

This is a top priority for me and a fi= rst step is to catalog the hardware makers that DO offer good support so th= e community can share this knowledge with current and would-be FreeBSD user= s.

That's the idea of this survey:=C2=A0https://forms.g= le/GtmWzY2QGFovc71d9=C2=A0

Based on the respon= ses, The Foundation will publish a FreeBSD Hardware Support Guide.

The responses will also help inform my outreach to hardwar= e makers.

I appreciate you taking a few minutes to= fill it out.=C2=A0

I will be sharing this on the = FreeBSD Forum, Discord, and other community email lists.

Thanks in advance!
