Quick fact: if you've ever streamed content on Netflix, used a PlayStation, or sent a packet through a Juniper router, you've touched FreeBSD.

It runs quietly in the infrastructure of the modern internet. That's not an accident, it's the result of three decades of careful engineering, contributor effort, and a foundation built on collaboration.

This is what we'll be celebrating on June 19.

Mark your calendars, FreeBSD Week is almost here.

June 19 marks FreeBSD Day, celebrating 33 years since the FreeBSD project began.

Throughout the week, we’ll be sharing community stories, project highlights, FreeBSD history, and a few surprises along the way.

Whether you’ve been running FreeBSD for decades or are just getting started, there’s something for you.

Stay tuned.

From June 17–20, the FreeBSD community will gather in Ottawa for the FreeBSD Developer Summit (June 17–18) and BSDCan (June 19–20), a week dedicated to collaboration, technical discussions, and the people who build and support FreeBSD.
