Session
This 45-minute talk will cover some of the recent advocacy efforts by the FreeBSD Foundation, the recent user stories we've worked on, and how we continue to advocate for the FreeBSD community.
However, the greatest resource for FreeBSD is the community itself. The Foundation is dedicated to helping you advocate for FreeBSD and has provided resources to help. The talk will cover some of these resources (installfests, travel grants, educational grants, etc.) and how they can be tools for everyday advocacy.
