The 25th anniversary badge first graced <https://www.freebsd.org/> on or around 22nd May 2018. I'm a tad squiffy from partying for the past three-and-a-half years. Please consider removing the badge before I foxtrot myself solo sideways into an early grave with a glass of Champagne. Thank you. Whilst still giddy from the long celebration, I might also ask someone at the Foundation to adjust <https://freebsdfoundation.org/national-freebsd-day/>. If I'm not mistaken, "Friday, July 18" last occurred in 2014 and we're invited to celebrate the 28th anniversary. I hope for this year's 29th anniversary party to last at least as long as the 25th. Cheers!

(In reply to Graham Perrin from comment #0) > … this year's 29th anniversary … To the left of the 25th anniversary badge: "… more than thirty years. …" If the FreeBSD Project is _less than_ thirty years old, then there should be a link out to put the _greater_ age in context. Thanks

(In reply to Graham Perrin from comment #2) Top left of the page: > FreeBSD … A large community has continually developed it > for more than thirty years. … As far as I can tell, the word "it": * refers to BSD * does not refer to FreeBSD. Three points in time: 1978-03-09 1BSD RELEASE Berkeley Software Distribution based off of UNIX <https://freebsdfoundation.org/freebsd/timeline/> 2008-12-28 "… derived from BSD, …" <https://web.archive.org/web/20081228134201/http://www.freebsd.org:80/> 2009-01-01 "… FreeBSD's code base has undergone over thirty years of …" <https://web.archive.org/web/20090101062411/http://www.freebsd.org:80/> … then (I'll not guess when) ambiguity increased, eventually the first paragraph at the home page became wrong. ---- Thoughts: * shorten or remove the paragraph * make better use of the About page * do not attempt to cram the historic relationship between BSD and FreeBSD into the home page * link from somewhere (maybe the About page) to the Foundation-provided timeline * beware of ambiguous words such as "it".
