Ixsystems is a company based in California and Tennessee who sell a range of hardware, including various storage solutions based on FreeBSD. The founders of the company included a number of FreeBSD developers, and they have been big supporters of the project over the years. The did at one time produce PC-BSD, a desktop-oriented distribution of FreeBSD, but unfortunately commercial pressures have lead to their ceasing development on that. > but I'm first searching for official freebsd mentor 'Mentor' in the FreeBSD project has a formal meaning as 'the person (or people) designated to guide new committers.' It's one of those milestones you get to once your FreeBSD career is already quite well advanced. You don't tend to get nominated as a new committer until you've both a decent track record of patches or other code contributions, and established yourself as a member of the community by participating in on-line activities (basically showing that you can collaborate well with other committers) and preferably also by coming to some BSD conferences or other real-life events, although that is pretty much out of the question right now given the current pandemic. As to how to get started in FreeBSD work? Well, what areas interest you? What skill sets do you have that could be applied to the project? The project has pretty much always been chronically short of manpower, so volunteers in any areas are always most welcome.
