Hi there,

I am currently a freshman majoring in computer science at the University of
Minnesota. I've been actively maintaining at-home FreeBSD and other
UNIX-like servers for years now, and I have recently started researching
and tinkering with operating system development. Although I am certainly a
beginner, I have already fallen in love with low-level programming and I am
eager to experience what it's like to work on a large-scale team.

On all the UNIX-like systems that I have worked with, I always find myself
leaving the Linux world and coming back to BSD. I run FreeBSD on my desktop
and I can attest to the cleanliness of the operating system itself and the
user-friendliness that comes with the documentation.

Over the last month I've contemplated writing this email, but I figured it
would not hurt to ask. Are there any potential internship opportunities
available among developers of FreeBSD?

I would love to provide a resume and talk to a team member about my
experience. I hope we can sort something out here. I am extremely excited
to take my passion to the next level.

Thank you for your time,
Jake Freeland
