   [FreeBSD-Announce] FreeBSD 20 Year Anniv   
   24 Sep 13 23:27:33   
   
   From: matt@freebsd.org   
      
   Hey folks!   
      
   20 years ago, Nate Williams, Rod Grimes, and Jordan Hubbard came   
   together to turn their 386BSD patchkit into something greater. David   
   Greenman gave their combined efforts a name.   
      
   Today, FreeBSD is the stable, powerful operating system they dreamed   
   of and people all around the world come together to make it better   
   every day.   
      
   In honor of its users, administrators, developers, and advocates, we   
   are pleased to invite you to FreeBSD’s 20th Anniversary Celebration   
   being held Saturday, November 2, 2013 at the DNA Lounge in San   
   Francisco!  Festivities will begin at 6 pm, during which time we’ll   
   have exclusive access to the upstairs area of the club.  At 9 pm doors   
   will be opened to the public, who will join us as we celebrate into   
   the wee hours of the morning.   
      
   There will be drinks, music, and great company. Sponsors of the event   
   include iXsystems, Netflix, Google, NetApp, and the FreeBSD   
   Foundation.  There will also be a raffle with giveaways from O’Reilly   
   Media and No Starch Press, among others.   
      
   We hope you’ll join us for an evening of revelry and merriment on   
   November 2nd!  Please RSVP at http://www.freebsdparty.com by Friday,   
   October 18th if you plan to attend this historic event.   
      
   When:   Saturday, November 2nd, 2013, 6PM-2AM PST   
   Where: DNA Lounge, San Francisco, CA, USA   
   Cost: Nothing   
      
   Note: If you plan to bring someone, please RSVP with their name, too!   
   We have limited spots, so if you know you can make it, RSVP soon.   
      
   Feel free to spread the word.   
      
   Cheers,   
   -matt
