We are proud of our long relationship with the FreeBSD Developer
Community.  In 2004, sales at FreeBSD Mall, Inc. were returned to the
FreeBSD Community in the following ways :

  * $5,000 donated to the FreeBSD Foundation (a small portion
    of the overall contribution to the project)

  * Employed documentation authors to work on a new edition of the
    FreeBSD Handbook.

  * Part-time employment contracts to allow FreeBSD committers to
    improve the FreeBSD Handbook, packages, and support release
    engineering activities.

  * Donated thousands of free CDs, and the postage required to mail
    them to developers around the world.

  * Paid marketing staff to increase mindshare and market FreeBSD CDs
    and Books to stores such as CompUSA, Borders Books, Fry's, and
    other retail outlets in the U.S., Japan, and Europe.

  * Developed and printed FreeBSD flyers in multiple languages, and
    used them to distribute at LinuxExpo and other advocacy events.

  * Sponsored user group meetings around the world.

In addition to CD and DVD products, we also have a large collection of
FreeBSD shirts, hats, jackets, boxer shorts, stickers, case-plates,
coffee mugs, mouse pads, and other promotional materials.

Thanks and enjoy!
