Tomorrow, November 28, is #GivingTuesday. Now in its sixth year,
#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving that brings together diverse
communities to foster generosity . We're again calling on the FreeBSD
community to channel your passion for FreeBSD into helping us reach
our #GivingTuesdayFreeBSD campaign goal of raising $5,000 in the 24
hour period.
Your donations directly impact FreeBSD by helping us:
- Accelerate OS improvements, by having software developers on our
staff
- Keep FreeBSD secure by having a staff member fill the role of
Deputy Security Officer
- Provide full-time release engineering support, for reliable and
timely releases
- Increasing the number of FreeBSD contributors and users from our
global FreeBSD outreach and advocacy efforts
To maximize the success of the campaign, we're asking for your help
in spreading the word. Share reminders to donate on your social media
networks and set up your own Facebook fundraisers. Let colleagues
and friends know that you support FreeBSD, and why they should too.
Below you'll find sample tweets, Facebook posts and graphics to help
you spread the word.
Set Up a FreeBSD Foundation Fundraiser on Facebook
To create a fundraiser:
1. Click Fundraisers in the left menu of your News Feed.

donations will be matched by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation up
