ZFS was designed to be the last filesystem. Unlike other file systems, that were designed to be used for the next 10 years, ZFS was designed to last. Instead of being built with limits to outlast the next decade, ZFS was designed with scalable data structures that not only avoided limits on how big your volume or disks could be, but also to avoid limiting how many filesystems, volumes, and disks you could have.

At the beginning of May we embarked on a new path in the FreeBSD Foundation, with the hiring of co-operative education (co-op) students from the University of Waterloo. The University of Waterloo is a pioneer and leader in co-operative education, with 100% of Engineering students and a majority of Computer Science students participating in co-op programs.
June kicks off the summer conference season for the Foundation team. We’ll be traveling around the world to spread the word about FreeBSD. We hope to see you at some of these upcoming events.
Attending conferences is not only an excellent way to gain new skills and meet new collaborators, but it’s also an ideal place to spread the word about FreeBSD. Whether it’s giving a presentation or just talking to folks during the hallway track, you can help the community grow by engaging other conference attendees in the following ways:
