Dan Langille ☛ FreeBSD backup libraries such as base/FreeBSD-kerberos-lib-backup-libkrb5profile.so
I build my own FreeBSD packages using poudriere. I do this for various reasons, which include: Getting security updates faster because I build nightly Some packages I install use non-default build options One of the monitoring checks I have in place will identify any installed package which is not in the package repository.

FreeBSD ☛ FreeBSD Foundation Intern Jim Huang Chen on Raspberry Pi Support and Open Source
When Jim Huang Chen began his internship with the FreeBSD Foundation, he was only finishing his first year as a Software Engineering student at the University of Waterloo. A few months later, he had spent the summer working inside the FreeBSD codebase, contributing to Raspberry Pi support, learning from longtime developers, and gaining a much deeper understanding of how an operating system works.
For Jim, that process of learning became one of the most valuable parts of the experience.
