FreeBSD foundation needs your love people

I am not sure if I posted this here back in February, but I can at least repost it now.

The FreeBSD foundation is looking for donations to help support developers with specific projects, send them to conferences and buy equipment. This year so far they have raised over 216000 US dollars to support everything they do. I am asking that if you read my blog and you have a few extra dollars left over, send them to the FreeBSD foundation so that they may use it to further the FreeBSD operating system.

You may ask why I am asking you to be so selfless an donate to this organisation and it is because I use FreeBSD extensively though out my day. It is used to serve up this page on Lighttpd. The more funds they have available to sponsor projects, and buy hardware the more stable the OS will become, the faster it will become. While it won't affect me directly (the donations) they will benefit us all in the long run. Many websites and servers run FreeBSD for DNS/Web server/Mail server and other services.

So please donate to the FreeBSD Foundation. It will make you feel good inside!
