We’re excited to welcome another student contributor to the FreeBSD community.
Please join us in welcoming Sourojeet Adhikari, who recently shared that he’ll be joining the FreeBSD Foundation as an intern.
As part of his work, Sourojeet is currently exploring “Porting ROCm from Linux to FreeBSD”, an ambitious and highly technical project focused on GPU computing support.
We’re proud to support the UN Open Source Principles as an endorser through Open Source United.
Open source succeeds because of the people and organizations committed to building technology openly, sharing knowledge, and supporting long-term sustainability across the ecosystem. We’re honored to stand alongside other organizations supporting these principles.
Learn more about the UN Open-Source Principles and participating organizations below.

We appreciate Edwin Kremer’s thoughtful reflections on 'Integrated by Design" by Vivian Voss.
It’s encouraging to see the FreeBSD design philosophy articulated so clearly: coherence, predictability, least astonishment, and long-term stability.
For those curious about the architectural differences between FreeBSD and Linux and why they matter in practice, this book offers both philosophical context and hands-on exploration.
Thank you to Vivian Voss.
Anne Dickison, Deputy Director of the FreeBSD Foundation, will join Katie Steen-James (Open-Source Initiative) and Margaret Tucker (GitHub) for a GitHub Maintainer Month panel on what age assurance proposals mean for open-source maintainers.
The discussion will examine developments in the U.S., Brazil, and Europe, and what developers need to understand as policy conversations evolve.
