Of course, there will be a commemorative anniversary t-shirt for

from the conference attendees and sponsors, after costs are deducted,
they will be donated to the FreeBSD Foundation.

Java Installable Packages Now Available

Dear FreeBSD Community,

The FreeBSD Foundation is pleased to announce the availability of the 
Java JDK and JRE 6.0 binary installable packages for FreeBSD 6.x and 7.x
on the i386 and amd64 architectures! The binaries are available at
http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml.

We would like to thank Kurt Miller for his hard work on this project. We
would also like to thank Greg Lewis and Jung-uk Kim from the FreeBSD
Java Project for their help and support.

These releases would not be possible without the help of the volunteers
developing Java for FreeBSD, Sun Microsystems, and your donations!

We hope you will consider making a donation to help us fund more
development projects to improve FreeBSD. Please go to
http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/donate/ to find out how to make a donation.

Sincerely,

The FreeBSD Foundation
