About the FreeBSD Web Server
The Machine
Naturally, all systems in the FreeBSD.org cluster run FreeBSD. The hardware and network connection have been generously provided by:
-
Cloud and SDN Laboratory at BroadBand Tower, Inc
-
Department of Computer Science, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University
— and other contributors to the FreeBSD project.
A list of general-access machines in the FreeBSD.org domain is available at the The FreeBSD.org Network page.
The Software
These pages are served up by the fast and flexible NGINX webserver and Varnish HTTP Cache. In addition, there are a few locally crafted CGI scripts.
The Pages
The original web pages were put together by John Fieber <jfieber@FreeBSD.org> with input from the FreeBSD community and you. Wolfram Schneider was our first webmaster but this responsibility is now shared by a larger team of web and documentation contributors.

Page Design
The current website design was done by Emily Boyd as part of the Google Summer of Code program in 2005.
The original page design was done by Megan McCormack.
