<p>We started the quarter with our "Raise a Million &mdash; Spend
a Million" Spring Fundraiser. This was the first of three major
fundraisers scheduled for the year. We were pleased to have
raised $365,291 by the end of the campaign &mdash; May 31. Last
year, by the same time, we had raised only $56,196. We have
started this year off with a much better fundraising strategy.
We want to send a big thank you to everyone out there that has
made a donation in 2013. Your early donations have made a
significant impact on our fundraising endeavors so far this
year.</p>
<p>Some things we accomplished this last quarter are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Attended BSDCan in Ottawa, Texas LinuxFest in Austin,
SouthEast LinuxFest in Charlotte, and ICANN 46 meeting in
Beijing.</li>
<li>We were a Gold Sponsor for BSDCan 2013 and sponsored 7
developers to attend the conference.</li>
<li>We signed up to be a Platinum Sponsor for EuroBSDCon
2013.</li>
<li>We sponsored 1 developer to attend OpenHelp.</li>
<li>Recognized Mark Linimon, Simon L. B. Nielsen, Bjoern A.
Zeeb, and Ken Smith, at BSDCan, for their significant
contributions to &os;. We also recognized Dan Langille for
his tireless effort of putting on BSDCan for 10 years.</li>
<li>We sponsored the developer and vendor summits at BSDCan,
with 100 and 30 attendees respectively.</li>
<li>We sponsored BSD-Day 2013 that was held in Naples, Italy on
April 6.</li>
<li>We held our annual board meeting in Ottawa.</li>
<li>We sponsored the following projects: Capsicum, ARM
Superpages, iSCSI, Page Queue Locking, Input/Output Memory
Management Unit, Documentation project infrastructure, and
writing white papers.</li>
<li>We hired Edward Tomasz Napiera&#322;a as the second member
of our technical staff to work on &os; projects
full-time.</li>
<li>We hired Ed Maste as Director of Project Development.</li>
<li>With our continued support of building out the &os;
infrastructure, we purchased high-end servers for the Sentex Lab
to be used with the latest 40 Gbps Ethernet cards from Chelsio
to do performance testing and analysis, smaller servers for
firewalls for NYI and ISC, and cables to connect our Juniper
switches together into a bigger Juniper switch we purchased
for NYI.</li>
</ul>
